Recently, Many studies have been undergoing to reduce a working time in a field of machine tool. There are two ways of reducing working time; to reduce actual working time by heighten spindle speed and to reduce stand-by time by shortening tool exchange time. Automatic tool change system belongs to the latter case. Fixed address type automatic tool change system that is being developed in this study can store more number of tool in small space than magazine transfer type automatic tool changer as well as shorten tool exchange time. In this paper, a simplified equivalent model of finite element method in order to analyze frame structure of fixed address type automatic tool change system is presented.

One of the most important item for insuring the stability of ground in urban deep excavation site near by major structure such as subway is displacement control of earth retaining wall. The field monitoring system is classified by two types as manual system and automatic system. The application case of latter type of field monitoring is increased because real time measurement is possible in automatic system and that is correspondent with the recent constructional trend. Though the automatic monitoring system is more useful and advanced than manual monitoring system, accuracy of the system is not verified sufficiently. It was examined that the reliance of automatic monitoring system in this paper through the comparison of monitoring result obtained one of deep urban excavation site in which the each type of monitoring system was executed concurrently. Result of the examination is that the two types of monitoring system is generally alike in view of monitoring result, so the engineering reliance of automatic system was confirmed in case site. This study was researched in restricted one case site, so it is expected more precise analysis from security of more data monitored and progressive study.

In general, the purpose of packaging fasteners is a series of management activities to maintain the condition at the time of production until they get delivered to the end user. An automatic packing system for fasteners is consisted of bucket conveyor, slide feeder, vision inspection system, box-magazine conveyor system and automatic packing machine. Also, the automatic packing machine is consisted of six modules including charging device, clamping/opening device, sealing/cutting device, feeding/air-shower device, supplying/adjusting device and device frame, etc. In this paper, we proposed an automatic packing mechanism of the one station concept for packing work of fastener objects where the continuous batch work is performed in a finite space. The proposed one-station packing mechanism has been optimized through mechanical, dynamical, structural and fluid analyses. And it had been manufactured as the prototype of automatic packing machine. The field test for validation of performance was performed directly at the production line of bolt and screw. In the field test, this packing machine showed an efficiency of about 4.5 times the manual operation. It also showed 30% reduction in the consumption of packing materials compared to the manual operation. This automatic packing machine for fastener objects will be commercialized soon.

In this paper, we introduce automatic meter reading system for tap water. The system is composed of automatic meter, router using RF and CDMA network, and data server. This system will easily extend to fire detect, gas, and electric charge meter system. In addition, this system will be used to monitoring a water leak and human which live in solitude. Proposed system is installed at Gimhae-City and Gijang-gun. As a result of the automatic meter reading system for tap water, The leak of water and complain of user is decreased. But The building cost is still an obstacle to expand into entire city.

An automatic construction system in Korea is now at the stage of the full automation like in Japan, and an actual pilot project is going to be built in 2009. However, in developing a new construction system that has never been implemented before, there is a need to assess the performance and to consider the uncertainty of the system. The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) allows dealing with this uncertainty. Thus, this paper implements an analysis of the process of steel fabrication and makes suggestions for time-related problems arising from the analysis. The time required for steel erection by the automatic system was compared with that in the traditional method. In the result, finding out another construction process and improving robot performance were proposed to resolve the problems. The results will contribute to promoting the development of an efficient system for the new automatic construction system.

Automatic welding has been used frequently on pipeline projects. The productivity and reliability are most essential features of the automatic welding system. The mechanized GMAW process is the most widely used welding process and the carriage and band system is most effective welding system for pipeline laying. This application-oriented paper introduces new automatic welding equipment for pipeline construction. It is based on cutting-edge design and practical welding physics to minimize downtime. This paper also describes the control system which was designed and implemented for new automatic welding equipment. The system has the self diagnostic function which facilitates maintenance and repairs, and also has the network function via which the welding task data can be transmitted and the welding process data can be monitored. The laser vision sensor was designed for narrow welding groove in order to implement higher accuracy of seam tracking and fully automatic operation.

In this paper, the automatic assembly and packaging system was developed for PET blow molding products. The PET blow molding products mainly are used in groceries case and are in great demand. Generally, the molding process is compose of 4 processes such as plastic resin injection, molding, ejecting and packaging. In case of packaging process, although amount of work per hour is very large, all processes are still performed by the manual work. For this reason, the automatic packaging system was developed with the function of automatic hand-grip part assembly. For the development of system, the existing processes and the shape of molding product were analyzed and specifications were deducted. Finally, the automatic assembly and packaging system was developed and applied to the manufacturing field.

To reduce the personnel and material loss caused by fire, we propose the automatic fire extinguishing system based on the ignition point tracking using the flame detecter. This automatic fire extinguishing system is composed of the flame detecting system and the fire extinguishing system based on the water cannon. We study the method for the ignition point tracking and the automatic fire extinguishing using the water cannon and the flame detecter. The flame detecting system for the early fire detection and the ignition point tracking has to be satisfied the requirement of the detecting range and the flame detection time. So we study the signal process algorithm for an improvement of the flame detecting system.

Now a days, securing skilled workers is very difficult due to the hardworking environment. This situation will be getting worse in the future and also that makes the dies/molds industries difficult. In this research, the automatic fone polishing system which can be directly attached to the spindle of CNC machine is proposed and analyzed. The system is also controlled by the NC progra data created by CAD/CAM system. The usefulness and effectiveness of the developed system are verified more detail through some comparisons between automatic and manual polishing experiments. The experiments show that the automatic polishing is a more useful and effective process than manual one. For the application, this system can be easily used for the polishing process in the area of any fine surface.
