  • This paper presents the study on the development of a DNC, system IPIS(Interactive Plant Information System)/DNC, which can manage NC machines and robots as a distributed control method in the machine. processing factory. The IPIS/DNC system is composed of a host computer, satellites and NC machines. A set of software modules are developed on the host computer and the satellites separately. By modularizing each functions of the IPIS/DNC system and using multi-taking method, the functions such as NC program management, NC program distribution, and shop monitoring can be performed on the host computer, and the functions such as NC program transfer to the NC machines, and NC program editing can be performed on the satellites. A Relational database which is linked with job scheduling system is used for IPIS/DNC system.

  • This paper presents a method of finding optitnal joint torques of two robots when they hold an object simultaneously. Although the importance of the multiple cooperating robot system increases for more flcviblc ni;mufacturing automation, dynamic solutions to multi-robot system forming closcd kinematic chain is not easy to find. Newton-Eulcr approach is used for the dynamic formulation of two robots fonn~ng closcd kincmatic chains gmsping a rigid body object. The nrcthodology to optimize the joint torques to satisfy given criterta and obtain bettcr control of the system is discussed. The scheme is illustrated by an example.

  • In this study of made Unloader is moving linear transfer system for mainly plastic working or forming of small electronic unit and other at press line. This machine for lading and unloading a workpiece has been installed in a press in order to load and unload a workpiece form a press die. Control method be used PLC. it took data of input from each sensor and send signal of output to actuator today we have a lot of problem at work of press line. most of press work be operated by human so they often hurted terreble accident by press machine. Because press working system in automotive factories are now changing over to a transfer press working system this Unloader will give more easily and speedy production and manpower saving less of pruduction cost high perfomance

  • This study took advantage of NC processing technique in order to recreate design in development process of leisure boat based on the Korean boats and ships. CNC milling is an area which is concerned in automation process of boat production and needs sophisticated software, equipment and professionals to pilot it. The progress of manufacture begins when the surface model creation and simulation being done using CAD/CAM software. In this process, the needs such as 3D design, NC processing data, plug lamination and partition processing appear as detailed steps. The study completed these detailed steps and also the application example has been studied with presenting engineering potentialities.

  • The basic technology for a production system represented by design, machining, assembly, and inspection, is machining technology such as CNC machine tools. etc. Direct Numerical Control, that effeciently manages NC programs is developing into Distributed Numerical Control that increases the utilization of the machining cell. It has the ability of monitoring and control, in real time, for CNC and periperial equipment. In this study, we develop a Distributed Numerical Control system that has real time and multitasking operation capability for the machining cell with various CNC's. With the consideration of economy, generalization and extension, the system is interfaced with CNC machine tools and periperial device using RS-485 network and RS-232C communication methods.

  • An automated system for scanning and characterizing unbound aggregates, called the 'Laser-based Aggregate Scanning System'(LASS), has been developed at the University of Texas at Austin. The system uses a laser profiler to acquire and analyze true three-dimensional data on aggregate particles to measure various morphological properties. Tests have demonstrated that the system can rapidly and accurately measure grain size distribution and dimensional ratios, and can objectively quantify particle shape, angularity, and texture in a size invariant manner. In its present state of development, the LASS machine is a first-generation, laboratory testing device. With additional development, this technology is expected to provide high-quality, detailed information for laboratory and on-line quality control during aggregate production.

  • Due to the increase in importance of factory-automation (FA) in the field of production, the importance of he autonomous guided vehicle's (AGV) role has also increased. This paper is about an active and effective controller which can flexibly prepare for changeable circumstances. For this study, research about an behavior-based system evolving by itself is also being considered. In this paper, constructed an active and effective AGV fuzzy controller to be able to carry out self-organization. To construct it, we tuned suboptimally membership function using a genetic algorithm (GA) and improved the control efficiency by self-correction and the generation of control rules.

  • In Korea, researches on year-round leaf vegetables production system are in progress, most of them focused on environmental control. Therefore, automation technologies for harvesting, transporting, and grading are in great demand. A robot system for harvesting lettuces, composed of a 3-DOF (degree of freedom) manipulator, an end-effector, a lettuce feeding conveyor, an air blower, a machine vision system, six photoelectric sensors, and a fuzzy logic controller, was developed. A fuzzy logic control was applied to determine appropriate grip force on lettuce. Leaf area index and height were used as input variables and voltage as an output variable for the fuzzy logic controller. Success rate of the lettuce harvesting was 94.12%, and average harvesting time was approximately 5 seconds per lettuce.
