In this paper, a new control strategy is proposed to improve the quality of the welding products. The conventional nonlinear power control system of spot welders is linearized using nonlinear feedback linearization technique based on differential geometry theory. An evolution strategy(ES) geometry is used to find optimal gain of PI controllers. It tries to find out the optimal control parameters by imitating the natural evolution. Some Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed variable power control system using ES algorithm has better dynamic performances than the conventional one.

이 글에서는 저항 용접기의 구성과 기본원리에 대하여 설명하였다. 구조적 형태에 의한 분류와 전원방식에 의한 분류로 나누어 논하였다. 특히 저항 용접기의 고속 제어를 위한 인버터화, 직류화의 추세에 대해 논하였다. 미래에는 전자공업과 컴퓨터 기술을 비롯한 관련 기술의 발달로 고도의 자동화 및 신뢰성 있는 저항 용접기가 출현될 것으로 생각된다. 특히 소량 다품종 생산 체제에 적합한 저항 용접 시스템의 고급화.지능화는 끊임없이 추진되고 있으며, 이 분야의 장비 국산화가 무엇보다도 시급한 실정이다. 이를 위하여 각종 전력 전자 부품 산업, 고주파 교류용 변압기, 장시간 안정적으로 사용할 수 있는 전극 및 실시간 품질 보증 기술 등의 관련 기술개발을 위하여 국가적인 지원과 인접 분야와의 협력 체제가 절실히 요구되는 바이다.

A spacer grid assembly, which is an interconnected array of slotted grid straps and is welded at the intersections to form an egg crate structure, is one of the main structural components of the nuclear fuel assembly for pressurized water reactors(PWRs). The spacer grid assembly is structurally required to have enough buckling strength under various kinds of lateral loads acting on the nuclear fuel assembly so as to keep the nuclear fuel assembly straight. To meet this requirement, it is necessary to weld the welding parts carefully and precisely. In this study, weld qualities such as, weld bead size, penetration, spatter, etc. manufactured by various welders were compared and analyzed. Comparison results show that the weld qualities could be improved by selecting the optimal welding condition and also improving the welding technique.

Many workers like welders are working in squat sitting postures with te object on the ground for an entire work shift. It is suspected that such prolonged squat sitting without any supporting stool would gradually cause musculoskeletal injuries to workers. This study is to quantitatively evaluate the physical stress caused by the prolonged squat sitting and to recommend a safe work/rest schedule for the task with squat sitting posture based on the lab experiment. In this study, 8 healthy student subjects participated in the experiment. They maintained a squat sitting posture for 16 minutes with 4 different stool height conditions: no stool, 10cm hight, 15cm height, 20cm height. Every 2 minutes, the discomfort was subjectively assessed using the magnitude estimation method for the whole body, lower back, upper leg and lower leg. Based on discomfort rating, we found that 10cm height stool relieved the workload most. Discomfort rating results also indicated that 20cm height stool showed the heghest workload, and that there was no difference in workload between 15cm height and no stool. We recommend to provide the workers with 10cm height stool for prolonged squat sitting tasks.

컨덴서식 저항 용접기는 용접에 필요한 에너지를 전해컨덴서에 축척 시킨 후 이것을 순시에 용접변압기로 방전하여 큰 용접전류를 흘리게 된다. 아날로그 제어방식에 의한 기존 컨덴서 용접 시스템은 용접 세팅이 어려웠으며, 시스템의 소손 가능성이 높았고, 크기면에서도 비대해질 우려가 있었다. 이에 비해 디지털제어방식의 중앙집중식 자동화시스템은 사용자가 세팅을 쉽게 할 수 있으며, 전원을 제어함에 따라서 전력소비를 최소화 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 디지털제어방식의 중앙 집중식 컨덴서식 저항용접 시스템을 제안한다.

Almost every die fur automobiles must be corrected or remodeled for minor geometrical changes or for better hardness characteristics by arc welding process. Although many other kinds of arc welding processes have been automated with robots, this molten metal deposition process for die remodeling still depend entirely on experienced welders. In this study, the database for bead shapes with respect to welding parameters are constructed by experiments to automate the molten metal deposition by arc welding process. And the changes of welding parameters for inclined base metal are studied to consider the effect of die geometries fur the welding process.

Resistance spot welding is commonly used for welding products of high quality because of clean welding and short w welding-time. But. conventional spot welders bring about the depreciation of welding products, iuespective of dynamic r resistance characteristics during welding time. This paper discussed dynamic resistance database implementation in t terms of welding performance improvement. On different welding conditions, we compared dynamic resistance, r respectively, about pure iron and Sn-Pb alloy on Copper. Also, it investigated the relation of tensile shear strength and d dynamic resistance in welded workpiece.

용접작업은 다양한 산업에서 이루어지는 중요한 작업인데 반해, 여러 가지 위험요소들로 인해 작업자의 건강에 위협을 가할 수 있다. 또한, 용접 작업자들을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 안전점검인력이 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문은 항만 용접 작업자의 안전을 위한 스마트헬멧 제작과 연동 APP을 개발하여, 체계적으로 작업자의 건강을 관리하고 안전사고를 미연에 방지하는 데에 그 목적이 있다.
