There have been continuous efforts to automate welding processes. This automation process could be said to fall into two categories, weld seam tracking and weld quality evaluation. Recently, the attempts to achieve these two functions simultaneously are on the increase. For the study presented in this paper, a vision sensor is made, and using this, the 3 dimensional geometry of the bead is measured in real time. For the application in welding, which is the characteristic of nonlinear process, a fuzzy controller is designed. And with this, an adaptive control system is proposed which acquires the bead height and the coordinates of the point on the bead along the horizontal fillet joint, performs seam tracking with those data, and also at the same time, controls the bead geometry to a uniform shape. A communication system, which enables the communication with the industrial robot, is designed to control the bead geometry and to track the weld seam. Experiments are made with varied offset angles from the pre-taught weld path, and they showed the adaptive system works favorable results.

This paper presents the dynamic analysis and input shaping control of a positioning stage. Vibration characteristics of the positioning stage are affected not only by the structural dynamics but also by the servo actuators that consist of the mechanism; driving motor and controller. This paper proposes an integrated dynamic model to accommodate both the structural dynamics and the servo actuators. Theoretical modal analysis with a commercial finite element code is carried out to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the experimental positioning stage. Experiments are performed to validate the theoretical modal analysis and estimate the equivalent stiffness due to the servo actuators. This paper deals with an input shaping scheme to suppress vibration of the positioning stage. Input shapers are systematically implemented for the positioning stage in consideration of its dynamics. The effects of servo control gain are also investigated. The experiments show that input shaping effectively removes residual vibrations and then improves the performance of positioning stage.

Recently industrial control systems have been required to ensure intelligent, high tech automation, interconnection and interoperability demands. Therefore, there is a need to redefine the structure concepts of SCADA system for wind power. Also, at this time, the integrated management system is required for the distributed development of wind farms where are needed often interoperability features and exchange information between different wind farms, wind turbines or SCADA systems. In this paper, an integrated structural concepts for SCADA system are defined. Based on this definition of an integrated SCADA system, the basic designs are analyzed on physical layer, system layer and application layer which are corresponded to wind turbine controller, the SCADA server and the SCADA client, and implement HMI. Between the implementation SCADA server and the client, their normal functions were verified at the small scale wind energy test facilities.

This paper describes a phase-shift pulse-width modulation and pulse-frequency modulation series resonant high-frequency inverter using IGBT(Insulated-Gated Bipolar Transistor) for the power control of high-frequency induction heating using neuro-fuzzy, which is practically applied for 20KHz~500KHz induction-heating and melting power supply in industrial fields. The adaptive frequency tracking based phase-shifting PWM(Pulse-Width Modulation) regulation scheme is presented in order to minimize switching losses. The trially-produced breadboards using IGBT are successfully demonstrated and discussed.

Given that elastic connection is often used between motor drives and load devices in industrial applications, vibration often occurs at the load side. Vibration suppression is a crucial problem that needs to be addressed to achieve a high-performance servo-control system. Scholars have presented many strategies to suppress vibration. In this study, we propose a method to diminish vibration by using a torque feed-forward and disturbance torque observer. We analyze the system performance and explain the principle of the proposed vibration suppression method based on the transfer functions of the system. The design of controller parameters is another important issue in practical applications. We accordingly provide a succinct outline of the design specifications based on the coefficient diagram method. Furthermore, we build a model under the Simulink environment and conduct experiments to validate the proposed method. Results show that speed and position vibrations are successfully suppressed by the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 FPGA를 사용하여 진행파형 초음파 모 터의 2상 입력 전원 전압의 주파수, 위상차, 진폭 및 2 상간의 전압차 조절이 가능하고, 8대의 초음파 모터를 동 시에 제어할 수 있는 8채널 USB통신 PC기반 초음파 모터 디지털 제어기를 제안한다. 제안한 제어기는 FPGA를 이용 한 디지털 논리에 의해 출력을 발생하기 때문에 PC로부 터 직접 제어 명령을 입력 받아 각각의 파라미터를 실시 간으로 조절할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 둘 이상의 파라미터 를 동시에 조절이 가능하다. 또한, PC와의 인터페이스는 USB통신 방식을 채택하여 제어 명령의 전달속도 향상 및 플러그 앤 플러그 방식을 통해 데스크 탑 컴퓨터는 물론 휴대용 컴퓨터나 PDA와 같은 다양한 플랫폼에서 사용할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 또한, 초음파 모터의 속도 및 위치를 계측하기 위해 사용된 로터리 엔코더 카운터 회로를 FPGA회로에 내장시켜 카운터를 위한 별도의 회로 구성이나 장비 구입의 필요성을 배제하였다. 따라서, 생산 단가 및 부피를 현저히 감소시켰다.

The letters of the automobile tire are usually engraved on the side-wall. The shape of the side-wall is a sculptured surface generated by the rotational sweeping of a profile curve. The letters laid on the side-wall are usually designed by a 2-dimensional CAD. It is impossible to machine the letters on the surface accurately by 3-axis NC machining, because the axis of cutter should be tilted to align with the normal vector of the surface. In this case. the degree of freedom for the machine is at least four. This paper describes an idea for tool path generation of a 4-axis machine by using the 2-dimensional CAD data of the letters and the surface of the side-wall. This study includes the following procedures; (1) measuring the profile of the side-wall surface and curve-fitting of the measured points. (2) the 'non-parallel projection' of the letters on the side-wall, and (3) an inverse kinematics of the 4-axis lettering machine. Procedures in this paper are programmed in C-language on Windows95 environment. With a PC based CNC controller and a 4-axis lettering machine. these are tested sucessfully for the practical use.

This paper proposes a new algorithm to generate a reference signal for an active power filter using a sliding-window FFT operation to improve the steady-state performance of the active power filter. In the proposed algorithm the sliding-window FFT operation is applied to the load current to generate the reference value for the compensating current. The magnitude and phase-angle for each order of harmonics are respectively averaged for 14 periods. Furthermore, the phase-angle delay for each order of harmonics passing through the controller is corrected in advance to improve the compensation performance. The steady-state and transient performance of the proposed algorithm was verified through computer simulations and experimental work with a hardware prototype. A single-phase active power filter with the proposed algorithm can offer a reduction in THD from 75% to 4% when it is applied to a non-linear load composed of a diode bridge and a RC circuit. The active power filter with the proposed reference generation method shows accurate harmonic compensation performance compared with previously developed methods, in which the THD of source current is higher than 5%.
