Accurate measurements of burr profile and burr size are very important for the automation of deburring. In this paper, a new burr measurement system using capacitance sensor is proposed. Ultra precision milling machine was used as a sensor positioning system. The possibility and limitation of employing a capacitance sensor to defect burrs are also investigated. The proposed system is proven to be relatively accurate, easy to setup and lower cost. This system will be applicable to a fully automated deburring system with minor modifications.

In this study, we developed full automation test system for pressure vessel. This pressure vessel containing oxygen, nitrogen and carbon is widely used in industrial field. The test items of pressure vessel are divided into three branches which is weight measurement, water-hydraulic, and leakage test. After leakage test is completed, cleaning and dry progress is carried out. And control system is consist of three controller which is PLC, monitoring system and database system. PLC is control all of system. Monitoring system measures weight, pressure, flow etc and display to all conditions. Database system stores tested data. we design system to control all test modules in communication by a second period with three control modules. Finally, we verified this system by field test.

BACnet is an international standard communication protocol especially designed for building automation and control systems. In this paper, a reference model of network management system for BACnet is proposed and its implementation method is introduced. In order to evaluate the feasibility and validity of proposed network management system, it is applied to a real experimental model of BACnet network system. Proposed network management system complies with standard BACnet protocol and its functions are implemented in software without hardware dependencies so that it can be applied not only to newly installed BACnet system but also to already installed BACnet system by software upgrade. The network management system and its implementation method introduced in this paper will help BACnet-based automation system to be managed efficiently and they can be practically applied in real BACnet-based automation systems.

In the CNC machining process, problems such as lowering of machine operation rate, setting errors, and machining precision occur due to the increase in setting time and preparation time. These machining errors cause delays in delivery and increase in cost due to an increase in the number of mounting and dismounting of the workpiece, an increase in measurement and reprocessing time, and an increase in the finishing time in the assembly process. Therefore, in this study, by automating the setting of the work piece using OMV (On Machine Verification), which is a meteorological measurement system, the preparation time for machining the work piece and the setting accuracy were improved, the rework rate was reduced, and the mold manufacturing process was shortened. Through the advancement, standardzation, and automation of the mold part manufacturing process, we have improved productivity by minimizing low-value-added repetitive tasks. In addition, the measurement time was reduced by more than 50% and the machining measurement rate was improved by more than 20%, eliminating repetitive work for correcting machining defects, and reducing the work preparation time by more than 15% through automatic setting.

Background: Previous studies have investigated technology-aided needling training systems for acupuncture on phantom models using various measurement techniques. In this study, we developed and validated a vision-based needling training system (noncontact measurement) and compared its training effectiveness with that of the traditional training method. Methods: Needle displacements during manipulation were analyzed using OpenCV to derive three parameters, i.e., needle insertion speed, needle insertion angle (needle tip direction), and needle insertion length. The system was validated in a laboratory setting and a needling training course. The performances of the novices (students) before and after training were compared with the experts. The technology-aided training method was also compared with the traditional training method. Results: Before the training, a significant difference in needle insertion speed was found between experts and novices. After the training, the novices approached the speed of the experts. Both training methods could improve the insertion speed of the novices after 10 training sessions. However, the technology-aided training group already showed improvement after five training sessions. Students and teachers showed positive attitudes toward the system. Conclusion: The results suggest that the technology-aided method using computer vision has similar training effectiveness to the traditional one and can potentially be used to speed up needling training.

In this paper, the 3-D measurement method of moving object with a laser and one camera system for image processing method is presented. The method of segmentation image in conventional method, the error are generated by the threshold values. In this paper, to improve these problem for segmentation image, the calculation of weighting factor using brightness distribution by histogram of stored images are proposed. Therefore the image erosion and spread are improved, the correct and reliable informations can be measured. In this paper, the system of 3-D extracting information using the proposed algorithm can be applied to manufactory automation, building automation, security guard system, and detecting information system for all of the industry areas.

Even the domestically small-and medium-sized companies progressed development in the monitoring equipment of inspecting run out in steel wheel aiming to supply and generalize through developing the monitoring equipment for securing quality technology and enhancing quality-test level. Run-Out value in vehicle wheel was measured with Computer & Servo system by using Low-Point marking machine control system, which is this development product. Low-Point value was operated and calculated. It marked by revolving wheel as much as the demanded measurement value based on 1ST harmony curve. Thus, the shipment of inferior product, which occurs in the measurement by the existing worker, could be blocked in advance. In the existing case, 60 sec. was required for inspecting 1 product. However, it came to bring about a rise in production volume through shortening inspection time to 8 seconds and improving workers' operating environment.

The necessity of Power Quality(PQ) Management grow bigger because the disturbance strength in power system is increasing, on the other hand, the tolerance of electrical components is reducing with widely use of the IT and digital equipments. The domestic management standards on power quality are enacted based on the IEC standards in recent. Since the IEC standards defines the measurement and evaluation point on PQ as PCC(Point of Common Coupling) which is normally the point of penetration between customer and power company, the PQ monitoring system(PQMS) should be made to measure and manage the PQ of custom effectively. In this paper, therefore, the economical construction plan on PQMS using the wireless communication channel in distribution automation system is suggested, and the usefulness of the PQMS are shown by analyzing the PQM data with IEC standards.

Gauge blocks are the most widely used material measure in length field in industry. The gauge block interferometer, which is the gauge block measuring system, comprises Twyman-Green type interferometer optics and light sources having precisely known wavelengths. This paper describes the work done for advancing the measurement system and automating the measurement process. The advancing of the system was done mainly by exchanging the spectral lamp with the frequency stabilized lasers, and the automation of measurement was achieved by modifying the hardware and developing the automatic measuring software. As the results of this work, the contrast of interferometric fringes of gauge blocks longer than 100 mm s enhanced about 20 times, and the measurement time has reduced down to 50% by automation.
