Recently gantry-type robot with 3 axes rectangular coordinates have been studied in the many industrial production equipment and machinery fields. To acquire a good handling and motion performance of this robot, reducing the settling-time and securing the accurate-transfer positioning under high-speed conditions should be required. However when robot is moved in high-speed, the large inertia of robot can lead to serious vibration of robot's head. The time-delayed control characteristics of this robot can also lead to tracking error. In this research, the analysis of the effects of higher order positional-profile is carried out to assure high-speed performance and stiffness specifications. To remove the residual vibration caused by kinematic coupling effect of dual-servo gantry, we develop a dual-servo gantry of rotary type that moving frame of x-axis rotates about z-axis. In order to decrease the tracking error, the 3 type lead-filter through system identification was applied respectively. From the experimental results, it was shown that zero-order series leader-filter has the best performance about tracking error and settling time.

Clean and well maintained roadway signs are important for preserving driver's safety. The existing signs on the roadway must be periodically re-painted in order to maintain clean state. However, current sign painting operations are manually performed now. These are very slow and workers are exposed to very dangerous and hazard working environment. In this paper, we present the method for automating this job with gantry robot and spray system. In addition, we suggest two design concepts to resolve the problem that it is impractical to make the gantry system so big as to cover whole lane width. In order to show the validity of this system, the painting operation is simulated and experimentally executed.

Automation of roadway sign painting offers more safety for workers, shortening of work period, etc., compared with manual painting. In this study, an automated system using a gantry-type robot was developed for roadway sign painting which has been done manually. Any characters (Korean and English) as well as symbols can be painted by the system. A simulator was also developed, which can show the painted results in advance. The developed system performed well, and the signs painted by the system were found to be as accurate as those made by the simulator.

The current method for pavement sign marking operations is labor-intensive and very dangerous due to the exposure of workers to passing traffic. It also requires blocking traffic for a long period of time resulting serious traffic jam. This paper deals with the development of a robotic system for automating the pavement sign painting operations. The robotic system consists of gantry frame equipped with transverse drive rail and automatic paint spray system. The workspace of the gantry robot is extended to one-lane width with the transverse rail system. This research also includes the development of font data structures that contain the shape information of pavement signs, such as Korean letters, English letters and symbols. The robot path is generated with this font data through the procedures of scaling up/down and partitioning the signs to be painted depending on the workspace size.

In this study, a robot welding programming system is developed for gantry-type robot using a neutral CAD data format. The system automatically extracts welding line data from tile CAD model represented in IGES format and generates a robot program based on the weld line extracted. The welding program is simulated jar verification by using IGRlP, a virtual manufacturing solution. The robot welding programming system is demonstrated with a simple example.

갠트리 로더(Gantry loader)는 생산설비 자동화의 물류이송에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 최근 물류 반송거리가 확대되면서 이동반(Carrier)과 제어반(Controller)의 유선연결로 갠트리 운동의 장해, 주기적 유지보수로 인한 시간 지연 등이 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이동반과 제어반의 연결을 무선화 하여 생산효율을 향상시키고자 갠트리 로더의 기구부를 트롤리 바(Trolley Bar)를 사용하여 개선하고 무선통신 시스템과 모션 제어기 및 제어 프로그램을 제작하여 무선 갠트리 로더 시스템을 개발하였으며 유선 갠트리 시스템과의 비교 평가를 통해 정밀도와 안정성을 확인하였다.

Welding automation is one of the most important manufacturing issues in shipbuilding in order to lower the cost, increase the quality, and avoid the labor problems. Generally the on-line teaching is utilized on the robot that is used in the welding automation system, but it requires much effort and long time to program. Especially, if the system is composed of more than two cooperating robots, it demands much more skill to program the robots' motion. Thus, a convenient programming tool is required for efficient utilization of welding automation system. In this study, a convenient programming tool is developed for welding automation in which gantry-robot system is used. The system is composed of a gantry transporter and two robots mounted on the gantry to cover the wide work range in the ship building application. As a programming tool, an off-line programming software based on PC is developed. By using this software, field operator does not need to concern about coding of task programs for three control units, one is for gantry and two are for robots. The task programs are automatically generated by assembling the program modules in database according to geometrical information of workpiece and welding condition, which become the only concern of field operator, The feasibility of the generated programs can be verified via a motion simulator previously to on-line running.
