Developing robot hands with multi-degree-of-freedom is one of the topics that researchers have recently begun to improve the limitation by adding flexibility and dexterity. In this study, an articulated servo-pneumatic robot hand system with direct-drive joints has been developed whose main feature is the minimization of the dimension. The servo-pneumatic system is advantageous to fabricate a dexterous robot hand system due to the high torque-to-weight and torque-to-volume ratio. This enables the design of a finger joint with an integrated rotary vane type actuator which produces high output torque without reduction gears, being very robust. In order to control the servo-pneumatic finger joints, a miniature proportional valve that can be attached to the robot hand is required. In this paper, a flapper nozzle type 4/3-way proportional directional valve has been designed and tested. The experimental results show that the developed valve can control a finger joint satisfactorily without much vibratory joint movements and acoustic noises.

공압시스템은 지상설비 및 발사체 공급시스템에 광범위하게 활용되고 있다. 공압시스템의 목적은 수요처에서 요구되는 유량 및 압력을 요구조건에 맞게 공급하는 것이다. 발사체 관련 가스공급은 타 분야 가스공급과는 달리 대유량의 가스공급이 일반적으로 요구되며, 이때 공급압력이 감소되어 유량을 공급하는 동안 요구되는 압력을 만족시키지 못하는 현상이 흔히 발생한다. 공급시 압력감소는 레귤레이터의 특성과 직접적으로 연관되어 있다. 본 논문은 대유량 가스공급시 공급압력 감소와 관련된 레귤레이터의 특성을 제어이론의 측면에서 검토하였고 이를 개선시킬 수 있는 방법을 이론적으로 제시하였다.

In this study two issues are considered, one is to develop a pneumatic servomechanism using a direct-connected circuit between inlet and outlet, the other is to design two kinds of advanced controllers such as fuzzy and PID controllers for a fingering system. Besides, the application of the advanced controllers to the newly proposed servomechanism is presented. The procedure of this study is composed of following 6 steps : [Step 1] Structuring of a control system; [Step 2] Development of a pneumatic circuit for the servomechanism ; [Step 3] Characteristic analysis of the valve and cylinder systems ; [Step 4] Determination of optimal parameters of the PID controller ; [Step 5] Design of a fuzzy controller and parameter tuning; and, [Step 6] Experimental analysis of fuzzy and PID controllers. Experimental results show that the newly proposed pneumatic servomechanism has good performance and, not only the performance of the fuzzy controller is better than that of the PID controller but also the fuzzy controller fits well to the control of the pneumatic servomechanism.

Pneumatics is widly used in the industrial implementation, in the operation of air-powered actuators and the control devices needed in their operation. However, there are many empirical factors in pneumatics design, it might cause excessive design of pneumatic components. For that reason, we developed VDES(Vacuum Design Expert System) for the economic design of pneumatic vacuum equipment. VDES is achieved with CLIPS(C Language Integrated Production System) and knowledge base that contains a number of facts and rules for pneumatic vacuum design. Forward chaining and depth first search technique are used in this system. Appling VDES to the actual field, this system is verified to be a good efficiency and could be applied to the field of pneumatic vacuum equipment design.

The object of this paper is development of pneumatic servo actuator technique for energy saving type. In this paper, consist of pneumatic servo actuator technique is pneumatic servo valve, pneumatic motor and cylinder. This technique applied a automobile, aerospace engineering, a ship, defence industry and industrial machine because it have high response, high speed, high precision control, low friction etc., compare with previously technique. But it depend on import the whole quantity. So this study, suggest that through the development of servo actuator applicable the use of industrial field.

This paper studies the comparative analysis on two different internal cushion devices (the types of needle and relief valve) used to absorb the energy which is generated when the pneumatic cylinder moves with the load at meter-out speed control system. The effect at varying the piston velocity under same driving condition is mainly investigated. The simulation results on pressure in the cushion chamber and the dynamic behavior of the relief valve type cushion device are compared with the needle valve type. Design and performance are improved with the cushion configuration of better quality at high-speed pneumatic cylinder. Based on the relation between absorbed energy and impact energy at cushion process, cushion performance at pneumatic cylinder is evaluated.

Pneumatic cylinder meter-out driving apparatus is used widely because it is clean, lightweight, and can be easily serviced. In this study an estimation method of energy consumption for pneumatic cylinder meter-out driving apparatus is proposed. The proposed method is derived from state equation and energy equation of air, and, the equation of motion of a moving part of a pneumatic cylinder reflecting the characteristics of the meter-out driving. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by simulation study and it demonstrates that the proposed method can evaluate the energy consumption quickly and easily when the parameters of the driving apparatus are changed.

In this study, swing phase dynamic simulation of above-knee prosthesis is performed. The prosthesis consists of a single axis knee mechanism and pneumatic cylinder. The numerical modelling of the prosthesis is analyzed in two dimensions. The governing equation of thermodynamical pneumatic cylinder model is applied to construct the control of lower limb during swing phase. Knee flexion angle with respect to the orifice diameter of the pneumatic cylinder is produced. This analysis will be very useful to the design of pneumatic cylinder in prosthesis.

The purpose of this study is to find the effective dynamic characteristics of an improved pneumatic cushion cylinder with a spring type needle valve. The dynamic model represented the peak pressure control method when the pneumatic cushion cylinder is moving forward or backward in the horizontal direction. It was found from the simulation results that the peak pressure in the cushion chamber is affected by the spring, which helps to understand the performance of the pneumatic cushion cylinder and to improve or design a better cushion needle valve component. From the simulation results, the stability of pneumatic cushion cylinder with a spring type needle valve was superior and its cushion capability was also better than that without the spring.
