Recently, the use of Robot increase little by little for the purpose of developing a welding quality and productivity in the welding part. It is more important to contact the seam for arc welding before moving a welding robot. There are two types of method to contact the seam namely contact and non-contact type largely. In this paper, image processing sensor(a kind of non-contact sensor) is concerned to track the seam by using laser diode and CCD camera. A structured laser diode's light illuminated on the weld groove and the reflected shape is introduced by CCD camera. The image board captures this image and software analyzes this image. The robot is moved and welded exactly as acquired image X-Y data is changed with robot's X-Y value. Also, most of seam tracking are considered by changing the program simply in case of the different weld groove of plane surface.

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.

An application of innovative laser+GMA hybrid welding process is presented for reducing bead humping defects in high speed welding and increasing side wall fusion in narrow groove welding without torch or wire oscillation. In this hybrid process, the laser heat input is applied adjacent to the weld pool at a relatively low power density to produce a wider, flatter weld bead. In bead on plate in sheet metal gauges, the hybrid process was able to produce hump-free welds from 70ipm (${\sim}1780mm/min$) to over 150ipm (${\sim}3810mm/min$) of the travel speed compared to the un-assisted GMAW process. A square-butt joint in 15mm A572 Gr50 steel welds was investigated. A square butt joint with a gap of 3.2mm was filled with 6 passes. Liquid Nitrogen calorimetry and innovative $CO_2$ laser reflective optics were also developed to demonstrate the concept of hybrid welding.

It is necessary to improve mechanical and optical properties in the optical disk substrates as the information storage devices with high storage density using blue laser are being developed. Injection compression molding is regarded as the most suitable process to manufacture optical disk substrates for quality recording and read-out. In the present research, the effects of mold temperature and the insulation layer thickness on gapwise birefringence and the land-groove pattern were investigated. It was found that the values of the birefringence distribution were very sensitive to mold temperature history, and the level of birefringence reduced and, furthermore, the quality of replication was improved due to the insulation layer.

The droplet impact behavior is dominated by some parameters such as surface temperature, We number, surface and fluid property. Especially, Leidenfrost effect which prevents the contact between surface and droplet is very powerful phenomenon for determining droplet impact behavior. Due to this effect, the impact regime is divided into contact boiling regime and film boiling regime whether the droplet contact with the surface. Many studies have found that surface micro-structures which processed by surface processing are effective to overcome the Leidenfrost effect. In this study, droplet impact behaviors were compared using ethanol both on flat and laser-ablated Al surface. On the flat surface, impact regime was mainly divided by surface temperature. And there is key dominant parameter for each regime. On the laser-ablated surface, we could see changed impact regime and different impact behavior such as jetting and ejection of tiny droplets despite of same impact conditions.

제조업의 공동화 현상 및 3D 작업의 기피 현상 등으로 용접 고기량자의 구인 난 및 신규 용접인력의 감소 현상이 나타나고 있다. 이는 단기적으로는 경량 간이 용접 장치를 1인이 다수대를 운용함으로써 해결 가능하지만 적용 부위가 한정되고 수정 부위가 과다 발생되어 근본적인 해결책이라 보기는 어렵다 따라서 지능형 용접 ROBOT의 적용을 통한 용접기량자의 대체가 요구되어 지고 있다. 반면에 용접 ROBOT에 의한 고효율 및 고품질의 용접을 위해서는 용접재료, 용접기등의 발전도 중요하지만 고기량자에 준하는 최적 용접조건의 선정이 무엇보다도 중요하며 다양한 대상물에 대한 다양한 용접 사양을 만족하기 위해서는 기존 TEST를 통해서 얻어진 최적 용접 조건의 재현만으로는 한계를 가지게 되며 LASER SENSOR 등을 통한 용접부의 GROOVE 형상 혹은 ROOT GAP의 감지와 이에 적합한 용접조건을 REAL TIME으로 결정할 수 있는 용접 정보 처리 시스템이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 광범위한 용접정보 처리 시스템중 조선분야에 비중이 제일 큰 단층 FILLET 용접부위에 대하여 용접 ROBOT SYSTEM을 적용 할 경우 표준용접 조건 및 용접조건 최적화를 위한 용접전문가 시스템의 연구결과를 소개하고 향후 전망에 대해서 의견을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper we propose an arc welding robot system, where two robots works coordinately and employ the vision sensor. In this system one robot arm holds a welding target as a positioning device, and the other robot moves the welding torch. The vision sensor consists of two laser slit-ray projectors and one CCD TV camera, and is mounted on the top of one robot. The vision sensor detects the 3-dimensional shape of the groove on the target work which needs to be weld. And two robots are moved coordinately to trace the grooves with accuracy. In order to realize fast image processing, totally five sets of high-speed parallel processing units (Transputer) are employed. The teaching tasks of the coordinated motions are simplified considerably due to this vision sensor. Experimental results reveal the applicability of our system.

It is well-known that the micro fabrication technology of micro parts are the high energy beam or silicon-based micro machining method such as LIGA Process, Laser machining, photolithography and etching technology. But, for fabricating complex 3-D structure it is better to use mechanical machining. This machining method by the mechanical machine tool with nanometer accuracy is getting attention in some field-especially micro optics machining such as grating, holographic lens, micro lens array, fresnel lens, encoder disk etc.. In this study, we survey the micro fabrication by mechanical cutting method and set up the mechanical micro machining system. And we carried out micro cutting experiments for micro parts with v-shape groove.

본 논문에서는 공진기 길이 변화에 따른 V-자형 알루미늄갈륨비소-갈륨비소(AIGaAs-GaAs) 양자선 레이저의 서브밴드 에너지 천이에 대한 스펙트럼과 시간적 스위칭 특성을 조사하였다. $300{\mu}m$ 이하의 짧은 공진기 길이를 갖는 V-자형 양자선 레이저는 공진기 손실의 증가로 인하여 n=1에서 n=2 서브밴드(subband)로의 양자화 천이(불연속적인 파장 스위칭)가 발생하였고, 초단 광펄스를 생성하는 이득 스위칭방식을 이용하여 초고속 레이징 특성을 관찰하였다.
