Fault diagnosis technique in machining system which is one of engineering techniques absolutely necessary to automation of manufacturing system has been proposed. As a whole, diagnosis process is explained by two steps: sensor data acquisition and reasoning current state of system with the given sensor data. Flexible disk grinding process implemented in milling machine was employed in order to obtain empirical manufacturing process information. Resistance force data during machining were acquired using tool dynamometer known as sensor which is comparably accurate and reliable in operation. Tool status during the process was analyzed using influnece diagram assigning probability from the statistical analysis procedure.

In recent years, the use of robot arms has increased rapidly in both industrial and service applications. Unlike production sites, where only one type of gripper is used for productivity, service sites often use a tool changer to replace fingered grippers or vacuum grippers to cover various objects to be grasped. To this end, a tool changer-based pneumatic grasping system was developed in this study. In order to simultaneously use a positive pressure-based pneumatic gripper and a negative pressure-based vacuum gripper, a small vane pump capable of generating positive and negative pressures depending on the direction of rotation was developed. Experiments with actual prototypes have shown that the pneumatic system based on the developed vane pump can effectively realize both pneumatic grippers and vacuum grippers.

A vision-based tool position estimation system for the inspection and maintenance manipulator working inside the steam generator bowl of nuclear power plants can help human operators ensure that the inspection probe or plug are inserted to the targeted tube. Some previous research proposed a simplified tube position verification system that counts the tubes passed through during the motion and displays only the position of the tool. In this paper, by using a general camera calibration approach, tool orientation is also estimated. In order to reduce the computation time and avoid the parameter bias problem in an ellipse fitting, a small number of edge points are collected around the large section of the ellipse boundary. Experiment results show that the camera calibration parameters, detected ellipses, and estimated tool position are appropriate.

High speed machining is one of most effective technologies to improve productivity. It can give great advantage for manufacture of die and Moulds. However, when the high speed machining of materials, especially in machining of micro groove, a severely thermal demage was generated on workpiece and tool. Generally, the cutting fluid is used to improve penetration, lubrication, and cooling effect. In order to rise the performance of lubrication, it contains extreme pressure agents (Cl, S, P). But the environment of work room go bad by those additive Therefore, the compressed chilly air with Oil mist system was developed to replace the conventional cutting fluid system. This paper carried out the tests to evaluate the machinability by the cutting environment in high speed micro groove machining of NAK80 (HRC40). Compressed chilly air with oil mist was ejected on the contact area between cutting edge and workpiece. The effectiveness of this developed compressed chilly air with oil mist system was evaluated in terms of tool life. The results showed that the tool life of carbide tool coated TiAIN with compressed chilly air mist cooling was much longer than with dry and flood coolant when cutting the material.

Due to the rapid development of open source based Cloud management platforms such as OpenStack, many and various individuals and institutions are trying to construct Cloud computing systems based on open source software projects. It is essential, for those who install, administrate or operate a Cloud, to validate the integrity of the constructed Cloud system. This paper, therefore, proposes the design of a testing tool for validating the integrity of a constructed OpenStack-based Cloud system. Especially, the proposed testing tool utilizes the Tempest project which is an open source project that consists of OpenStack test cases. The proposed testing tool is expected to help developing Cloud technology and Cloud users.

A flight control system for high reliability consists of complicated redundant structures. This redundancy can improve fault tolerant characteristics of system. So, a system manager is able to choose a suitable structure using analyzed quantitative data of various redundant structures. In this paper, we analyzed redundant characteristics and reliability. We defined necessary mathematical model for analysis tool. Then we compose a reliability block diagram analysis tool applying such defined analysis model using Simulink blocks. Finally we verified the analysis tool using a commercial tool.

Generally, queueing networks, networks, chains and simulation techniques are among the most widely used evaluation tools to study computer systems, manufacturing systems etc. But, these tools have some assumptions and difficulties. So, this thesis presents a method for manufacturing system using Petri nets. Petri nets are a graphical and mathmatical modeling tool and are promising tool for describing and studying systems that are characterized as being concurrent asychronous, dynamic, distributed and parrallel. It designs Petri net model for processing time of manufacturing system And it applied to a job shop system composed of 8 machines and 4 different job types.

After the introduction of the topologically structured geographic information system(GIS) with relational DBMS, the attribute data can be handled without considering locational data. By utilzing of the characteristic of the relational DBMS, it can be used as an expert system building tool in GIS. The relational DBMS of the GIS furnishes the data needed to perform deductive functions of the expert system, and the rule based approach provides the decision rules. Therefore, rule based approach with the expert judgement can be easily combined with relational DBMS.

In this paper, an integrated approach is proposed to generate gouging-free Cartesian tool paths for machining sculptured surfaces from 3D measurement data. The integrated CAD/CAM system consists of two modules : offset surface module an Carteian tool path module. The offset surface module generates an offset surface of an object from its 3D measurement data, using an offsetting method and a surface fitting method. The offsetting is based on the idea that the envelope of an inversed tool generates an offset surface without self-intersection as the center of the inversed tool moves along on the surface of an object. The surface-fitting is the process of constructing a compact representation to model the surface of an object based on a fairly large number of data points. The resulting offset surtace is a composite Bezier surface without self-intersection. When an appropriate tool-approach direction is selected, the tool path module generates the Cartesian tool paths while the deviation of the tool paths from the surface stays within the user-specified tolerance. The tool path module is a two-step process. The first step adaptively subdivides the offset surface into subpatches until the thickness of each subpatch is small enough to satisfy the user-defined tolerance. The second step generates the Cartesian tool paths by calculating the intersection of the slicing planes and the adaptively subdivided subpatches. This tool path generation approach generates the gouging-free Cartesian CL tool paths, and optimizes the cutter movements by minimizing the number of interpolated points.
