In this paper, a development of an inductive position sensor is described. The sensor is similar to a radial magnetic bearing in that the sensor stator is shaped like a heteropolar magnetic bearing and is driven by a switching amplifier. A demodulation filter extracts the gap information from the switching current ripples. A prototype sensor exhibits the resolution of $0.43\mum$ and the dynamic bandwidth of about 800Hz. The dynamic performance can be improved by increasing the switching frequency. However, the eddy current effects become noticeable at high switching frequency, thus limiting the improvement of the bandwidth.

In this study, a magnetic sensor to make use of eddy current was developed to detect the weld seam of butt joint in the sheet metal arc welding. This system consist of the sensor device for detecting the weld line, the servo control device for driving the weld torch movement and the control unit. A signal processing was applied to smooth the output signal of the sensor. The weld joint was determined by using a 1st order differential method. To improve tracking accuracy of the system, moving average method which has an effect of proportional and weighted integral control was applied to a series of the weld joint positions obtained above. The weld line for tracking was generated by using data regeneration algorithm. Based on these results, each servo motor was controlled by pulse generator. From experimental results, it was revealed that this system has excellent detecting ability for weld line and seam tracking ability.

In a high speed spindle system, it is very important to monitor the operation of the spindle to prevent catastrophic damage to the system. Widely used sensors for monitoring are eddy-current and capacitive types. These sensors provide high accuracy of monitoring, but their steep prices lead to expensive high speed spindle systems. The main goal of our research is to develop technology for producing high speed spindle system utilizing magnetic bearings. As active magnetic bearings require position sensors for feedback control, a noncontact position sensor is being developed as a part of this main goal. Once developed, it will contribute to affordable high speed spindle system. This paper describes the selection process of the sensor types and the design of the driving circuit. We also report the experimental results that characterize the static and dynamic performances of the inductive sensor.

이 논문에서는 비자성 연선도체의 단면적을 검출하는 솔레노이드 센서의 임피던스 해석이 다루워졌다. 도전체의 전기 자기적 특성들을 검출하기 위하여, 관통형 코일로 비파괴검사 와전류 센서를 선택하였다. Maxwell 방정식을 풀어서 도체봉을 가진 센서의 규격화 임피던스 응답이 모델링되고 그 결과들이 연선에 확장되었다. 연선구조에 미치는 기하학적 성질이 검토되고 수치 해석과 실험결과 또한 주어진다.

We used eddy current sensor for diagnosis of power line. The power line according to the cross section has 6~18 element wires. The corrosion of power line was made by sodium hydroxide. The corrosion time of power line was from 18 hours to 27 hours. We obtained physical characteristics from tensile and torsion tests of power line. The eddy current Characteristics of power line according to the corrosion appeared change of amplitude 200 ~ 800 mV.

This paper proposes a monitoring method for nondestructive and in-process measurement of the case depth in LASER surface heat treatment process. The method is essentially an eddy-current method, and measures sensing coil's electrical impedance which varies with the changes of the material microstructure due to hardening. To investigate te validity of the proposed method a series of experiments were performed for various hardning depths. The results show that the relationship between the eddy- current sensor output and the changes in case depth is almost linear. This indicates that the eddy-current measuring method can be used as one of the possible monitoring method for mesauring the hardened depth in LASER heat treatment processes.

A new eddy current testing probe was developed to separate the eddy current signal distortion caused by permeability variation clusters and ordinary defects created in steam generator tubes. Signal processing circuits were inserted into the probe to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and allow digital signal transmission. The new probe could measure and separate the magnetic phases created in the steam generator tubes in the operating environment of a nuclear power plant. Furthermore, the new eddy current testing probe can measure the defects in steam generator tubes as rapidly as a bobbin probe with enhanced testing speed and reliability of defect detection.

화력발전은 국내 발전량 중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있으며, 그 중 석탄보일러 발전이 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있다. 석탄보일러는 석탄 연소 중 유해 물질 및 미세먼지가 발생하여 대기오염에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 이에 친 환경 석탄보일러로 유동층보일러가 도입 되었으며, 이는 유동매체를 활용하여 기존의 석탄보일러보다 약 1/10정도 적은 오염물질을 배출한다. 수냉벽튜브는 이 유동층보일러에서 중요한 역할을 하는 구조물로, 유동층보일러의 특성상 기존의 보일러보다 외벽손상이 심하다. 하지만 아직까지 이에 대한 정량적인 유지보수 기법이 없다. 원격장 와전류 탐상은 튜브형태의 내, 외벽 검사에 많이 사용되는 비파괴평가 기법으로, 비접촉이며 빠른 검사가 장점이다. 하지만 원격장 와전류 탐상은 본래 배관 내부에서 진행하는 검사이며, 수냉벽튜브는 특성상 내부 진입이 불가능하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션을 활용해 유동층보일러 수냉벽튜브에 적합한 외부 원격장 와전류 탐상 센서에 대한 설계를 진행하고, 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 기존 원격장 와전류 탐상과 유사한 신호를 얻음으로써 추후 실제 제작 될 원격장 와전류 탐상 센서에 대한 기준을 제시하였다.

Non Destructive Testing (NDT) methods that are capable of detecting the wall thinning and defects through insulation and cladding sheets are necessary. In this study we developed a Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) system to detect wall thinning of ferro magnetic steel pipes covered with 95 mm thick fiber glass thermal insulator and shielded with aluminum plate of thickness 0.4 mm. In order to confirm the thickness change due to wall thinning, two different sensors, a hall sensor and a search coil sensor were used as a detecting element. In both the cases, the experimental data indicates a considerable change in the detected pulse corresponding to the change in sample thickness. The thickness of the tube was made to change such as 2.5 mm, 5 mm and 8 mm from the inner surface to simulate wall thinning. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) was calculated using window approach and the results were summarized which shows a clear identification of thickness change in the test specimen by comparing the magnitude spectra.
