A water jet cleaning robot system for micro drill bits is to refurbish micro drill bits used for the PCB manufacturing process. It can refurbish drill bits with the minimum diameter of ${\phi}0.15{\sim}0.075mm$ of which the total quantity have been discarded before. Micro drill bits with the minimum diameter of ${\phi}0.075mm$ can be cleaned by applying the water jet cleaning robot system out of the manual ultrasonic cleaning in the past for the cleaning equipment as the initial process in refurbishing. This study analyzed problems, while applying the apparatus mechanism for the workability such as the robot traces of Transfer Robot I and II, drill bit loading and unloading, and cleaning tasks in the water jet cleaning robot system in an effort to carry out simulations. In addition, the cleaning work process was optimized as the work process was verified in advance and the production quantity was analyzed through simulations.

For more efficient use of the high pressure water-jet in rehabilitation of the water pipes, we have studied the water-jet cleaning motion of the in-pipe robot with screw drive. The mathematical models of the water-jet in the straight and the curved pipe (90 degrees elbow), representative features of the water mains, were designed to understand the water-jet motion and simulations have been performed. Furthermore the experiments has been conducted to validate the simulations by using the prototype in-pipe robot in the 3-D pipeline. The simulation results show that the water-jet motion in the straight pipe has a constant water-jet interval, whereas the motion in the curved pipe is changed by its position. By the comparison of the simulation and the experimental results, we have demonstrated that the simulations successfully estimate the water-jet motion inside the water pipes. Therefore in-pipe robot operators can predict a water-jet motion for a target water pipe through the simulation and flexibly make a proper water-jet motion by changing the robot configurations before a cleaning work.

In this paper, developing of a pool cleaning robot is addressed. First, we analyze commercial pool cleaning robot mechanisms, and the merits and demerits of wireless version of a pool cleaning robot is introduced. And then the water-jet moving mechanism for a pool cleaning robot is proposed to improve energy efficiency and mechanical design advantage, which is one of the strong candidates for wireless pool cleaning robots. Next, the method of cleaning performance evaluation of pool cleaning robots is firstly defined with five key factors, and it was verified by experimental results. If the cleaning performance can be quantitatively defined, we can design optimally a pool cleaning robot, which results in the cost down.

Most of the building exterior wall cleaning robots use a water jet device for spraying water. However this method is sprayed excessive water usage than water quantity required for cleaning. And setting weight of the water pump cleaning device increase the weight of the building exterior wall cleaning robot. Therefor, this paper suggest that the mechanisms scatter minimal cleaning water using a spinning device of the building exterior wall cleaning robot.

The micro drill bit automatic regrinding in-line system is a system that refurbishes drill bits used in a PCB manufacturing process. This system is able to refurbish drill bits with a minimum size of ø0.15-0.075mm that have previously been discarded. Beyond the conventional manual cleaning process using ultrasound, this system adopts a water jet cleaning system, making it capable of cleaning drill bits with a minimum size of ø0.15-0.075mm. This paper analyses various contact pressures applied to the surface of drill bits depending on the shooting pressure of the cleaning device and fluid velocity in order to optimize the nozzle location and to detect structural instability caused by the contact pressures.

최근 국내 터널들이 노후화됨에 따라 배수공 막힘현상이 가장 큰 문제점 중 하나로 보수대책 공법이 필요한 실정이다. 현재는 유지 관리용 Robot이나 Water Jet Cleaning공법 등으로 배수공 내 생성된 스케일을 제거하고 있지만 비용이 비싸고 주기적인 관리를 필요로 하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 터널 배수공 내의 스케일을 SEM-EDS와 XRD로 분석하였고, 침전물은 탄산칼슘($CaCO_3$)성분의 스케일로 calcite로 확인되었다. 침전물 생성 억제 및 제거를 위해 퀀텀스틱 신기술을 사용하여 개방형 배수시험, 순환식 폐쇄수조시험을 실시하였다. 무게측정분석, 육안분석, 경도변화분석을 통하여 요소기술로 인한 스케일 생성량이 확연히 줄었음을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 퀀텀스틱이 배수공 내 침전물 생성을 방지하는데 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
