  • In mechanical industries, forging is one of the basic process. But comparing the other developed industries, forging industries can not reach at the level of that development. In forging industries, the quality of the products totally depends on the skills of workers and also the precision of the equipments. Particularly because the open die forging industry is unable to deviate from the past method of production and all works are manually progressed, the operator is always exposed to the danger. In the regard some additional device has been made especially. Thus, in this research, by using the forklift as the means for the manipulation of the development object system, it tries to be comprised the process automation. After than it is fitted with the forklift for safe and easy handling of jobs and products during open die forging process. First of all, development system mold has been assembled to the system, after than it is assembled with forklift. This development system has been applied for handling of large scale products more than 300kg, and the satisfactory result with uniform quality of the products have been achieved due to this mechanical setup.

  • This study proposes a system reliability analysis of rack storage facilities subjected to forklift colliding events. The proposed system reliability analysis consists of two steps: the first step is to identify dominant failure modes that most contribute to the failure of the whole rack facilities, and the second step is to evaluate the system failure probability. In the first step, dominant failure modes are identified by using a simulation-based selective searching technique where the contribution of a failure mode to the system failure is roughly estimated based on the distance from the origin in the space of the random variables. In the second step, the multi-scale system reliability method is used to compute the system reliability where the first-order reliability method (FORM) is initially used to evaluate the component failure probability (failure probability of one member), and then the probabilities of the identified failure modes and their statistical dependence are evaluated, which is called as the lower-scale reliability analysis. Since the system failure probability is comprised of the probabilities of the failure modes, a higher-scale reliability analysis is performed again based on the results of the lower-scale analyses, and the system failure probability is finally evaluated. The illustrative example demonstrates the results of the system reliability analysis of the rack storage facilities subjected to forklift impact loadings. The numerical efficiency and accuracy of the approach are compared with the Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that the proposed two-step approach is able to provide accurate reliability assessment as well as significant saving of computational time. The results of the identified failure modes additionally let us know the most-critical members and their failure sequence under the complicated configuration of the member connections.

  • The calibration method of the initial value error obtained in the weight measurement through anchor bolt type strain gauge sensor is proposed. The strain gauge sensor is developed for preventing the overturning of forklift, which is the most frequent type of safety-accident in industry. It was confirmed that the initial value error is caused from the physical and mechanical error of anchor bolt, and the environmental problem. Since the elimination of these causes falls outside the realm of this research, we find out the calibrated values based on all the causes, and we adjust the initial values of analog-to-digital convertor (ADC) module consisted of strain gauge sensor block using the calibrated values. We use the linear interpolation method for our calibration. We confirm that four sensor modules have the different under 5% between the real weight and the measured value in the experiment applied with the calibration of initial values. The low correlation between the real weights and ADC values is also improved through the proposed calibration.

  • As fatal accidents due to industrial accidents and deaths due to civil accidents were pointed out as social problems, the Act on Punishment of Serious Accidents Occurred in the Workplace was enacted to ensure the safety of citizens and to prevent serious accidents in advance. Effort is required. In this paper, we propose a distance prediction model in relation to the case where an operator is hit by heavy equipment such as a forklift. For the data, actual forklift trucks and workers roaming environments were directly captured by CCTV, and it was conducted based on the Euclidean distance. It is thought that it will be possible to learn YOLO-v4 by directly building a data-set at the industrial site, and then implement a model that predicts the distance and determines whether it is a dangerous situation, which can be used as basic data for a comprehensive risk situation judgment model.

  • 차량이 정지상태에서 출발하는 과정에서 클러치는 엔진의 동력을 구동축에 전달하는데, 이 순간 차량이 울컥거리는(clunking) 현상이 자주 나타난다. 이와 같이 발생한 충격과 진동은 작업자에게 불편함을 줄뿐만 아니라 차량의 상품가치를 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. (중략)

  • The power train of a hydro-mechanical, continuously variable transmission for forklifts makes use of hydro-static units, hydraulic multi-wet disc brakes & clutches, and complex helical & planetary gears. The complex helical & planetary gears are very important parts of the transmission because of a strength problem. In the present study, we calculated the specifications of the complex helical & planetary gear train, and analyzed the gear bending and compressive stresses of the gears. It is necessary to analyze the gear bending and compressive stresses thoroughly for optimal design of the complex helical & planetary gears with respect to cost and reliability. In this paper, we analyze the actual gear bending and compressive stresses of complex helical & planetary gears using the Lewes & Hertz equation, and we also verify the calculated specifications of the complex helical & planetary gears by evaluating the results of the data of allowable bending and compressive stress using the Stress vrs Number of Cycles curves of gears.
