The SECS Ⅰ and Ⅱ Protocol has been widely used for the TFT LCD and semiconductor industry. This paper shows how the SECS protocol is implemented for data communications between the Host (CAM) and the TFT LCD equipments. In addition, this study introduces a way to apply the SECS protocol to the manufacturing systems control. It provides better throughput in terms of production and faster control of the automated TFT LCD manufacturing system by way of shortcut and distribution of control and data communications. The SECS protocol is successfully used for the control of the real TFT LCD manufacturing system.

This paper describes a real-time scheduling system re-construction project for automated manufacturing at a 300mm wafer fab of Korean semiconductor manufacturing company. During executing this project, for each main operation such as clean, diffusion, deposition, photolithography, and metallization, each adopted scheduling algorithm was developed, and then those were implemented in a real-time scheduling system. In this paper, we focus on the scheduling algorithms and real-time scheduling system for clean and diffusion operations, that is, a serial-process block with the constraint of limited queue time and batch processors. After this project was completed, the automated manufacturing utilizations of clean and diffusion operations became around 91% and 83% respectively, which were about 50% and 10% at the beginning of this project. The automated manufacturing system reduces direct operating costs, increased throughput on the equipments, and suggests continuous and uninterrupted processings.

Most of the planing models for automated manufacturing systems are based on the assumption that for each part there is only one process method available Really. for a part to be manufactured in an automated manufacturing system, a number of different process methods can be generated, each of which may require specific types of tools and auxiliary devices such as fixtures, grippers and feeders. In this paper, An optimal algorithm for the selection of a set of process methods with the minimum corresponding manufacturing cost and minimal number of tools and auxiliary devices Is proposed. The proposed optimal algorithm is based on branch and bound method which is one of the optimal solution methods.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the data of base for automated underwear manufacture by analyzing the technology of the automated underwear manufacturing facilities in the area of Jeonbuk with a focus on Jeonju and Iksan. The case study samples were 6 underwear firms. The results were as follows : 1. Automated underwear manufacturing systems in the area of JeonBuk introduced over the entire period between 1990 and 1997. Most of Their production type was multi-kind and small-quantity production. 2. They were using Gerber, Assyst, Lectra, Microdynamics and Investronica systems as the CAD/CAM system, of which the Gerber system was mostly used by them. 3. In the stage of production planning and in the stage of preparation for production, most of them realized automation, but in the stage of main production, every firm did not realize automation. In most cases, they used both the stage of mechanization and the stage of unit process automation.

Tooling is now considered as a major limiting resource for highly automated manufacturing systems to be operated unattendedly. In this paper, various issues in tooling are introduced and discussed. The importance of appropriate selection of tooling strategies is discussed and simulation experiments are performed to see how the tooling strategies affect the system performance in automated manufacturing systems. This paper also presents a tool management system developed in Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials.

The doctor blade is a core part of a laser printer and directly influences the printing quality. The main specifications for doctor blades ate for them to be precise and durable. It is necessary to study an automatic production system for doctor blades in order to obtain high-efficient manufacturing processes. In this paper, the technology and the design of the automatic production line has for manufacturing doctor blades has been researched. The automated manufacturing process consists of five steps, which are the supplying of raw material, shearing, bending, bracket supplying, and the laser-spot welding process. The proposed automatic manufacturing system allowed for faster and more reliable production of doctor blades.

Prior to the introduction of automated systems such as jewelry CAD and CAM, the jewelry manufacturing industry had many originals made by hand. However, after the introduction of the automated system, original craftsmen with high technology have disappeared, and computer designers and 3D printing print engineers are taking their place. The introduction of automated systems such as CAD and CAM in the existing hand-made production line has resulted in diversification of designs and cutting-edge and specialization of jewelry manufacturing. In the domestic jewelry industry, the dependence of automation systems such as CAD and CAM in the manufacturing process continues to increase, and the situation is taking up more and more parts in the jewelry design curriculum of universities. From these results, the CAD/CAM automation system field in the jewelry manufacturing industry becomes an essential and important field in the future.

This paper deals with 3D simulation of industrial robot for automated manufacturing system. In order to evaluate the operational characteristics of the industrial robot system in the worst case motion scenario, flexible - rigid multibody analysis was performed. Then, the rigid body dynamics analysis was performed and the results were compared with the flexible - rigid multibody analysis. Modal analysis was also performed to confirm the dynamic characteristics of the robot system. In the case of the flexible-rigid multibody simulation, only the structural members of interest were modeled as elastic bodies to confirm the stress state. The remaining structural members were modeled as rigid bodies to reduce computer resources.

Until recently, Stamping tool manufacturing depend on skilled designers and technicians, because it has many parameters. So, Try-out time not controlled. We now apply CAE, preliminary experiment, material database and automated stain measurement in stamping tool manufacturing for concurrent engineering that decreases product development circle time, saves cost, improves product reliability. Automated strain analysis and measurement environment gives very accurately informations to technicians of stamping tool manufacturing. They analysed the part in problem and appled to results in Try-out step.
