방전 현상을 에너지로 이용하여 금속을 가공하는, 특히 초경 및 난삭 소재의 가공과 정밀가공에 효과적인 방전가공 시 빠른 가공속도와 향상된 정밀도 및 면조도를 달성하기 위하여 효율적인 아크의 검출과 제어방법에 대해 연구하였다. 단일 방전 파형을 Td(Time-Delay), Ton(Time-on), Toff(Time-off)의 세 가지 구간으로 나누어 HDL 언어를 이용하여 게이트 제어 타이밍을 시뮬레이션 하고, 실제 방전가공기에 적용하여 파형을 실측하였으며, 비교기 회로를 통한 Td 구간의 샘플링을 통해 서보기구의 동작을 결정함으로써 전극과 가공물 간의 간격 제어와 가공 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 형성되는 파형의 Td 구간을 보다 정밀하게 고속으로 샘플링하여 이를 토대로 전극과 가공물 간의 gap 제어에 적용하였을 때 보다 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

This paper presents investigation of an arc force sensor for a robotic welding control system. Arc force sensor is employed in this research to monitor the bead geometry of the arc welding process. Arc force sensor mounted at the end of the robot wrist was employed to measure the arc force applied to the weld. Experimental configuration for measurement of arc force was used to quantify the changes in the arc force distributions of the plate being welded. A relationship between the bead dimension and the arc force distributions was established. The sensor information was used to establish a relationship between welding current and arc force. Arc force sensor have shown to be one of the most sophisticated technique to monitor perturbations that occurred during robotic arc welding process.

This paper proposes an effective assistant model for considering the stator slot-opening effect on air gap flux density distribution in conventional interior-type permanent magnet (IPM) motor. Different from the conventional slot-opening effect analysis in surface-type PM (SPM) motor, a composite effect of slot-opening uniquely existing in IPM motor, which additionally causes enhancement of air gap flux density due to magnet flux path distortion in iron core between the buried PM and rotor surface. This phenomenon is represented by a proposed assistant model, which simply deals with this additional effect by modifying magnetic pole-arc using an effective method. The validity of this proposed analytical model is applied to predict the air gap flux density distribution in an IPM motor model and confirmed by finite element method (FEM).

Welding is essential for the manufacture of a range of engineering components which may vary from very large structures such as ships and bridges to very complex structures such as aircraft engines, or miniature components for microelectronic applications. Especially, a domestic situation of the welding automation is still depend on the arc sensing system in comparison to the vision sensing system. Specially, the gap-detecting of workpiece using conventional arc sensor is proposed in this study. As a same principle, a welding current varies with the size of a welding gap. This study introduce to the fuzzy membership filter to cancel a high frequency noise of welding current, and ART2 which has the competitive learning network classifies the signal patterns the filtered welding signal. A welding current possesses a specific pattern according to the existence or the size of a welding gap. These specific patterns result in different classification in comparison with an occasion for no welding gap. The patterns in each case of 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and no welding gap are identified by the artificial neural network.

High speed rotating arc process, forming a flat bead surface with shallow penetration depth, can be applied to the automatic seam tracking, because the amplitude of current waveform increases at high rotation speed. Two high speed arc rotation mechanisms have been developed in Japan and Germany b rotating the electrode nozzle using an external motor, which are used prevalently for narrow gap and conventional seam welding. In this study, a new rotation mechanism was developed by using a hallow shaft motor designed to be installed in the electrode nozzle. By rotating the welding arc, the amplitude of current waveform increases remarkably since the self-regulation of arc is not fully performed. Experiments show that the arc sensor with high-speed rotation arc has improved its responsiveness and sensitivity.

To implement full automation in pipe welding, it si most important to develop special sensors and their related systems which act like human operator when detecting irregular groove conditions. In this study, an automatic pipe Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) system was proposed to full control pipe welding procedure with intelligent sensor systems. A five-axes manipulator was proposed for welding torch to automatically access to exact welding position when pipe size and welding angle were given. Pool status and torch position were measured by using a weld-pool image monitoring and processing technique in root-pass welding for weld seam tracking and weld pool control. To overcome the intensive arc light, pool image was captured at the instance of short circuit of welding power loop. Captured image was processed to determine weld pool shape. For weld seam tracking, the relative distance of a torch position from the pool center was calculated in the extracted pool shape to move torch just onto the groove center. To control penetration of root pas, gap was calculated in the extracted pool image, and then weld conditions were controlled for obtaining appropriate penetration. welding speed was determined with a fuzzy logic, and welding current and voltage were determined from a data base to correspond to the gap. For automatic fill-pass welding, the function of human operator of real time weld seam control can be substituted by a sensor system. In this study, an arc sensor system was proposed based on a fuzzy control logic. Using the proposed automatic system, root-pass welding of pipe which had gap variation was assured to be appropriately controlled in welding conditions and in torch position by showing sound welding result and good seam tracking capability. Fill-pass welding by the proposed system also showed very successful result by tracking along the offset welding line without any control of human operator.

The horizontal fillet joint is one of the most important weld joints in the shipbuilding industry. High-speed rotating arc welding, which can increase the leg length, is an effective way to improve the weld productivity and quality for the horizontal fillet welding. Based on the Taguchi method, the effects of welding parameters on bead characteristics - leg length, asymmetry, undercut, overlap - are investigated fur high-speed welding process. As a result, the adequate welding parameters are selected for the required leg length, symmetric bead and no undercut. Besides, considerably consistent leg length is observed for the horizontal fillet welding with gap variation up to 3mm.

In this study, Hot-wire laser welding (HWLW) without keyhole which deposits filler material by feeding hot wire into the process zone has been performed to increase process performance. From the analysis of High Speed Imaging (HSI), for higher voltage, the process is prone to arc formation and drop transfer, which is disagreeable transfer mode. It is necessary that arc formation and drop (globular) transfer should be avoided by lower voltage. Therefore, continuous wire melting and transfer mode is preferred when adopting this process. The HWLW technique has high potential in terms of performance, precision, robustness and controllability for thick section of narrow gap.

일반적으로 용접 Root 캡은 여러 가지 용접 결함들 중에 용접 품질을 저하시키는 중요한 요인 중의 하나이다. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW)에서 root 갭은 용접 전류, 아크 전압, 용적률 등과 같은 여러 가지 용접 파라미터들에 영향을 미친다. 그러나 용접 공정의 비선형성 때문에 root 갭과 많은 용접 파라미터들 사이의 관계를 분석하기가 힘들다. 그리고 아크센서를 사용하였을 경우, 감지된 신호에 대한 신호처리가 어렵지만 가격이 저렴하고 자동화하기가 쉬우므로 현재의 산업공정에서 대부분 아크센서가 사용되고 있다. 지금까지 언급된 여러 가지 어려운 문제점과 아크센서의 특정 때문에 본 논문에서는 GMAW에서 root 갭을 검출할 수 있는 적당한 용접 파라미터들을 선정하고, root 캡과 선정된 파라미터들의 관계를 인식할 수 있는 신경회로망을 이용하여 root 갭 검출 시스템을 설계하였다. 또한, 용접 품질의 검사에 용접 비드형상이 중요한 요인이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 신경회로망으로 용접 파라미터와 용접 비드형상과의 관계를 인식하여, 용접 품질을 추정하고 용접 파라미터들의 효과를 분석할 수 있는 용접 비드 형상의 실시간 모니터링 시스템을 제안하여 여러 실험 데이터들을 기반으로 한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 시스템이 root 갭을 검출하고 또한 용접 비드 형상을 실시간으로 모니터링이 가능함 보여준다.

This paper deals with the distribution characteristics of the current density and axial magnetic flux density on the vacuum interrupter with axial magnetic field type using 3 dimension finite element analysis. An axial magnetic field parallel to the current flow in the arc column can improve the current breaking capacity of vacuum interrupter by affecting the arc mode. The axial magnetic flux density on the contact electrode surface is analyzed by inputting external current as a function of the transient time for sine half wave. And it also is analyzed within the gap distance of the contact electrode. The peak value of current but is decreased with the descending current on the contact electrode surface and within the gap distance of the contact electrode. The residual magnetic field is generated on the contact electrode surface and within the gap distance in the instant of zero current, which is due to the influence of eddy currents. The phase shift due to eddy currents, defined as time difference between the maximum value of current and axial magnetic field, is about 1ms in the center point of gap distance.
