Recent trends in the miniaturization and weight reduction of portable electronic parts have driven the use of subminiature screws with a micrometer-scale pitch. As both screw length and pitch decrease in subminiature screws, the resulting clamping force becomes diminishes. In this work, Finite element (FE) analysis is performed to evaluate clamping force of a screw assembly, with a comparison with experimental result. To improve clamping force of subminiature screws, a new screw design is considered by modifying screw thread angle: the thread angle is varied as an asymmetric way unlike the conventional symmetric thread angle. FE analyses are then performed to compare the clamping characteristics of each subminiature screw with different thread angle. The effect of thread angles on the clamping force is then discussed in terms of structural safety for both positive and negative screws.

Recent development of core techniques the IT electronics industry can condense into lightweight and slimmer. In this circumstance, researches for the lightweight materials and subminiature screw have been attracted. In this study, the CFRP was produced by stacking angle to obtain the tensile properties. And Comparing the coated screws and non-coated screws on the specimen, and evaluating the adequacy for the application of CFRP using the result. So The clamping force measured by comparison evaluation. Low screw reverse and Superior torque value at each stacking angle were found the optimum conditions, when Subminiature Screw is applied on smart devices. Both tensile strength and stiffness of $[{\pm}0^{\circ}]_{10}$ is the highest. Followed by $[90^{\circ}/0^{\circ}]_{10}$ is the highest. The largest clamping torque is $[90^{\circ}/0^{\circ}]_{10}$ When Subminiature Screw is applied coating and non-coating to prevent loosening. Based on the above, Subminiature Screw should be applied in smart devices, because $[90^{\circ}/0^{\circ}]_{10}$ meet both tensile properties and clamping force.

Recent trends for the miniaturization and weight reduction of portable electronic parts is the use of subminiature components. Assembly of the miniaturized components requires subminiature screws of which pitch sizes are in a micrometer scale. To produce such a subminiature screw with high precision threads, not only a precision forming technology but also high-precision measurement technique is required. In the present work, a vision inspection system is developed to measure the thread profile of a subminiature screw. Optical simulation based on a ray tracing method is used to design and analyze the optical system of the vision inspection apparatus. Through this simulation, optical performance of the developed vision inspection system is optimized. The image processing algorithm for the precision screw inspection is also discussed.

Recent trends for the miniaturization and weight reduction of portable electronic parts have driven uses of subminiature components. Assembly of the miniaturized components requires subminiature screws of which pitch sizes are micrometer scale. To produce such subminiature screws with high precision threads, not only a precision forming technology but also a high-precision measurement technology is required. The present study covers the development of a vision inspection system for precision screws for the automatic measurement of subminiature screws with high speed and reliability. In this study, the feeding unit that transfers the subminiature screws to the inspection unit is investigated through finite element(FE) analysis. The vibration characteristics of the feeding unit are predicted through FE analyses, from which we can determine whether the subminiature screw can be stably fed into the inspection unit or not. The effects of several design parameters on the vibration characteristics are also discussed.

Recent trends to reduce the size of mobile electronics products have driven miniaturization of various components, including screw parts for assembling components. Considering that the size reduction of screws may degenerate their joining capabilities, the size reduction should not be limited to the thread region but should be extended to its head region. The screw head is usually manufactured by forging in which a profiled punch presses a billet so that plastic deformation occurs to form the desired shape. In this study, finite element (FE) analysis was performed to simulate the forging process of a subminiature screw; a screw head of 1.7 mm diameter is formed out of a 0.82 mm diameter billet. The FE analysis result indicates that this severe forging condition leads to a generation of folding defects. FE analyses were further performed to find appropriate punch design parameters that minimize the amount of folding defects.

탄소섬유 강화플라스틱은 비강도, 비강성이 크고, 높은 감쇠 특성과 중량감소 측면에서 우수한 특성을 나타낸다. 그러나 탄소섬유 강화플라스틱은 재료의 적층각 또는 적층 순서에 따라 기계적 특성 차이가 크다. 또한 인장과 굽힘과 같은 하중을 받을 때 금속과 달리 파괴 예측이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 최근 실생활에 밀접한 휴대용 스마트기기에 CFRP 적용을 위한 외부 충격에 정형화, 최적화 설계방식을 제시하고자 한다. CFRP 를 적층각도별 기계적 특성을 얻고자 인장실험을 하였고, 각 적층각도별 체결 특성을 얻고자 판에 탭 가공 후 토크 측정기를 이용하여 풀림 토크와 체결토크를 측정하였다. 위 두 실험에 비교 분석하여 최적의 조건을 찾고자 한다. 인장실험에서 적층각이 Woven 시편에서 강도와 강성 값이 가장 우수하였다. 또한 복합재료에서는 기지와 적층배열 때문에 풀림방지 코팅나사의 효과를 보기 힘들다. [$0_8/+45_2/-45_2/90_8$]s 에서 체결력이 가장 우수했으나, 인장응력이 상대적으로 낮았다. 핸드폰에 적용을 위해 인장 특성과 체결력을 모두 충족하는 최적의 시편은 Woven 이다.

A multi-step warm forging process for subminiature screws is investigated. Due to the low formability of Titanium alloys, bit forming of Titanium screws is difficult by cold forging. In order to overcome this low formability of Titanium alloys, two candidate processes, i.e., multi-step forging and warm forging are introduced. First, a multi-step (two-step) forging process is investigated. The punch shape and stroke of forging during the first step is designed via various analyses. Finally, the bit formability is investigated at different forging temperatures. Analyses are carried out for two-step forging at various temperatures and the formability under these thermal conditions is compared.
