According to the ubiquitous times that is new important topic, the miniature is demanded in the industry at large. The high accuracy and accumulation make the assembly equipment and the production equipment huge from the size of view. The huge equipment brings about the expensive price of the equipment, a low flexibleness and a low productivity. It makes the manufacturing equipment huge that the accuracy only depends on the mechanism stiffness. The position of two assembled parts is transformed with the global coordinate system whose datum is machine coordinate system. The purpose of this research is invention of the module that can adjust one part to the order part automatically. The module that has a function of self adjustment only takes a stiffness in assemble direction and can be moved freely in the other direction so this function makes a self adjustment. The self adjustment module reduces the tact time and also diminishes the inferior goods and makes reconfigurable machine in $\mu-part$ assembly.

In recent years, most of the researchers have been working on micro system manufacturing technological environment. With this international trend and one of the key researches in Korea, this paper gives the keynote on manufacturing the micro-scaled part with digital micro factory and its simulation. In order to construct and estimate reconfigurable simulation time, the digital simulation has been performed for the micro factory and for ultra small machines. From simulation result we came to know that micro factory requires less work-in space and processing time to manufacture micro-scaled part with different environment.

이 글은 1999년 제49차 CIRP General Assembly에서 Key Note Paper로 발표되었던 논문을 전재한 것이다. CIRP는 생산공학분야의 가장 중요한 국제학술대회 중 하나로, Key Note Session에서는, 각 분야의 대표적 연구자들이 해당 분야의 현황과 추세를 매년 조사한 내용들이 발표된다. 지난해 생산시스템 분야에서 주목해야 할 주제로서 재구성형 생산 시스템(Reconfigurable manufacturing system ; RMS)이 선정되어, 미국, 일본, 유럽의 일곱명의 전문가에 의해 정리된 내용을, Michigan 대학의 Koren 교수가 취합, 편집 및 발표하였다. 원문 요약은 아래와 같다. 21세기 제조업체들은, 글로벌한 경쟁과 예측 불가능하게 급변하는 시장에 효과적으로 대응하여야 할 것이다. 경쟁력을 유지하기 위해서는, 효율적이면서도 시장변화에 조속히 대처 할 수 있는 새로운 생산시스템을 보유하여야 한다. 시장변화에 대한 효율적이며 신속한 대응을 위한 엔지니어링 기술로서 재구성 기술(reconfigurability)이 필요하다. 새로운 생산 방식으로서 재구성형 생산 시스템은, 재구성이 가능한 기계들과 제어 장치, 그리고 그것들을 체계적으로 설계하고 신속하게 초기 가동 관리(ramp-up)하기 위한 방법론으로 이루어진다.

As a forming method for curved hull plates more efficient than the flame bending, mechanical bending using multi point press forming and die-less forming is discussed in this paper. the mechanical forming is a flexible manufacturing system for automatically forming of hull parts. It is especially suited to varied curved parts. This paper discusses a multiple point pressing machine composed of a pair of reconfigurable punches in order to achieve the rapid forming of curved hull plates using division forming and presents how forming information is obtained from the given design surface. Although the mechanical forming can be efficient in the metal forming, spring back after pressing is a phenomenon which must be carefully considered when quantifying the process variables. If the spring back is not accurately controlled, the fabricated shell plate cannot meet assembly tolerance. This paper describes the principles to calculate the proper stroke of each punch at the divided areas. the strokes are determined by an iterative process of sequential pressing and spring back compensation from an unfolded flat shape to its given design surface. FEA(finite element analysis) is used to simulate the spring back of the plate and the IDA(iterative displacement adjustment) method adjusts the offset of pressing punches from the deformation results and the design surface. The shape deviations of two surfaces due to spring back are compensated by integrated system using FEA and IDA method. For the practical application, It is aimed to develop an integrated system that can automatically perform the compensation process and calculate strokes of punches of the double sides' reconfigurable multiple-press machine and some experimental results obtained with mechanical bending are presented.
