  • This study addresses the issue of safety of the splash guard of a computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool at the design stage. As an impact test for evaluating safety requirements such as strength under the safety regulation is an expensive and iterative task, it is necessary to develop a new method to minimize the task of the impact test for development of the machine tool. In this study, explicit finite element method was adopted for replacement of the impact test of the splash guard of a machine tool at the design stage. A finite element model was developed for implementing the impact test on an actual vertical CNC lathe and then produced the analysis including plastic strain and deformation to enable the safety of its splash guard to be determined. The analysis results demonstrated that the finite element method can be applied to safety evaluation for design of the splash guard of a CNC machine tool.

  • The manufacture of a marine propeller typically requires long lead time to generate 5-axis tool path. Hence it may take several weeks to manufacture a satisfactory propeller with a general purpose CAD/CAM system. In this research a dedicated 5-axis CAD/CAM system for machining marine propellers has been developed, The system employs various methods to enhance the productivity : interference-free tool path generation employing check vectors and optimum cutter size determinants. In addition an iterative NURBS modeling technique is used to improve the accuracy of the modeled surface and effective cutting conditions are determined and recommended empirically to increase the productivity. The proposed CAD/CAM system has been implemented with C++ and OpenGL graphic library on the Windows system. The system validation and sample results are also given and discussed.

  • We develop some evaluation tool and indicators for the scores for medical equipment replacement in hospital. There has been no research for Korean hospitals although there are many for foreign medical institutions. In this paper, among many variables that were obtained from the previous studies, eleven variables are selected as indicators and tied as three groups. And then we obtain scores of medical equipments based on the weighted values of those indicators. We can make decisions whether we replace medical equipments or not by ranking the medical equipments based on the scores. This paper shows that we can make decisions to replace medical equipments very objectively and effectively using the evaluation tool and indicators we develop.
