Spawn bottle cutting and spawn cake shredding machine has been developed to save the farm labor and operating cost for mushroom growing farmers. The prototype can cut the bottom and side of the bottle while shredding the spawn cake by one farmer. The cutting plastic shell is done by two couples of high speed disc saws that can cut cross section and lengthwise two side of the bottle, while spawn cake shredding is done by spike teethed rotating drum and wiremesh concave. The optimum speed of cutting disc saw was observed 1.700rpm both the cross cutting saw and lengthwise cutting saw in consideration of the cutting accuracy. And the location for the instalation of cross cutting disc saw was considered as around 4 mm above the table bottom , while the optimum clearance between two edges of lengthwise cutting disc saw was showed 86mm. For the sawdust spawn cake shredder , proper size of spawn sawdust granule was observed in the 15 x 15mm size withmesh concave with the shredding rum speed of 500rpm. The prototype can be reduce 73 per cent of working hours with the working cost reduction of 49 per cent compare with those of conventional operation.

As a result, PHC pile cutting level sensing device, PHC pile cutting device, PHC pile handling device are developed. Futhermore, working process of an automated method is developed based on result of performance evaluation. According to the economic analysis result, the cost of the automated method was 21.37% less than that of the conventional method, and the economic efficiency was also superior(ROR 215.44%, Break-even Point 5.52month). It is expected that conclusions for future improvements are used in the development of the all-in-one attachment-based PHC pile head cutting robot to practical use.

We developed low resistance drum that is used in sawdust machine in this research. The existent drum have two dimensional cutting form(orthogonal cutting) when see cutting pattern of saw cutter and wood, cutting resistance is big and cutting power is cost much, and also, vibration happens extremely. To improve this shortcoming, we developed helical type low cutting resistance drum for three dimensional cutting possible, decreased vibration and cutting resistance of sawdust machine, and improve productivity and sawdust ventilation. Also, a developed drum is mounting in sawdust machine, it is sold by product.

The presence of cutting fluid for cutting tool and workpiece leads a temperature decrease, and reduces tool wear and residual stress. Moreover, it disposes chips from cutting area, and reduces thermal distortion. However, in manufacturing, cutting fluid used in cutting process is undesirable for both human and environmental aspect. Also, it's not economic for cutting cost. This paper studied experimentally the effects of cutting parameters on the characteristics of mist generation in turning. The results of experiment are as follows: 1) The more severe cutting conditions the more mist generate, 2) The ratio of weight concentrations of cutting fluid nearly have no an effect on the amounts of mist generation 3) The size of SMD is not affected by cutting parameters.

In this study, expert system for the selection of the optimal cutting speed and feed rate was developed using NEXPERT system shell. The NC system has been usually used inefficiently because the input command, which contains cutting speed, feed-rate and the depth of cut, is fixed value which depends on principally operator's experience and machining handbooks providing a guideline for applicable ranges. On the other hand, the optimal cutting conditions vary with time, and depend on tool and machine characteristics, work materials, and cost factor and so on. In this study, if cutting factors, such as, cutting method, material type, cutting depth, and tool nose radius are specified, our expert system gets the information about the standard cutting speed form the cutting speed database, and provides optimum feed rate for these cutting conditions. This cutting speed database can be updated by inputting valid cutting speed which is obtained form the practices.

In order to increase the efficiency of the sawdust machine, the helical type drums with an oblique cutting condition (3D) were developed. The preexisting drums have an orthogonal cutting condition (2D) considering of a saw cutter and a wood cutting pattern. Unfortunately, the disadvantages of this type drum are the big cutting resistance, the high cost of a cutting power and the extreme occurrence of a vibration. To improve this shortcoming, the helical type drum with an oblique cutting condition was developed. Therefore, this type drum decreased the vibration and the cutting resistance of the sawdust machine, and also improved the productivity of 30% or more and the porosity of the sawdust.

Ultrasonic cutting is a kind of eco-technique and cost-effective technique to be used for cutting of various materials such as baked product, fresh/frozen food, rubber, textile, wood, bone, etc. The performance of ultrasonic cutting is affected by design of cutting horn and cutting conditions. Specially the design of horn to resonate at the longitudinal direction is most important. To analyze the problems from which cracking and noise are often generated with conventional cutting horn, FEA is carried out, and then improved cutting horn which can reduce maximum stress and stress concentration is designed. Vibration characteristics, resonant frequency, gain, and amplitude uniformity of the cutting horn designed optimally are evaluated through FFT analysis and compared with those of conventional cutting horn.

Chip size distribution can be used to evaluate the cutting efficiency and to characterize the cutting behavior of rock during cutting and fragmentation process. In this study, a series of linear cutting tests was performed to investigate the effect of cutting conditions (specifically cut spacing and penetration depth) on the production and size distribution of rock chips. Linyi sandstone from China was used in the linear cutting tests. After each run of linear cutting machine test, the rock chips were collected and their size distribution was analyzed using a sieving test and image processing. Image processing can rapidly and cost-effectively provide useful information of size distribution. Rosin-Rammer distribution pamameters, the coarseness index and the coefficients of uniformity and curvature were determined by image processing for different cutting conditions. The size of the rock chips was greatest at the optimum cut spacing, and the size distribution parameters were highly correlated with cutter forces and specific energy.

In conventional cutting system of Heat-Shrink-Tube, workers operate cutting system after considering about length and quantity of heat-shrink-tube. So, not only work time and production cost is increased but also material is wasted because the data that workers have to consider is so much. In this paper, an effective cutting system of heat-shrink-tube was developed to reduce production cost, work time and waste of material. The cutting system consists of a supervisory computer installed inside a control room, a on-site computer installed on the work area, and a PLC system. In the developed system, a supervisory computer send work order to the on-site computer using LAN and the on-site computer operates the cutting system of the heatshrink-tube after it makes an array production order. Also, the on-site computer reports information to the supervisory computer when an accident happened.

Recently, high productivity and cost reduction becomes the most important target of industries due to the worldwide economic competition. One of these efforts is High Speed Machining(HSM), which reduces machining time with the increase of machining speed such as cutting speed and feedrate. It is very important, especially in case that the portion of machining time in production cost is high. This research suggests optimum cutting conditions to reduce cutting time with minimizing term error. For this study, a comprehensive model representing the texture of machining surface is developed, including rubbing phenomenon on the tip of ball end mill and expanded fibbing zone trajectory caused by tool deflection. Experiments show that the suggested set of feed and pick feed is optimum for maintaining the surface roughness identified by rubbing and low cutting speed in minimum.
