Tightening of the screws in implant restorations should be accurate and precise. If applied torque is too low, screw loosening would be occurred. With too high torque, the screw fracture might take place. Various torque generating devices are developed and employed to apply a proper torque. The purpose of this investigation was to determine and compare the accuracy of the torque controllers. In this study, 4 types of torque controllers were used; electronic torque controller, torque limiting device, torque indicating device and contra angle torque driver. Digital torque gauge was employed to measure the de-torque value. Thirty cycles of tightening and loosening were done with each torque controller. All implant torque controllers have shown slight errors and deviations. The torque liming device exhibited the most accurate data. No significant difference was found among the mean de-torque values of the electronic torque controller, torque indicating device and contra angle torque driver. In the limitation of this study, it would be recommended that the implant torque controllers should be checked whether uniformed and precise torque can be generated and a measuring error should be corrected.

네 종류의 토크 조절기(전자 토크 조절기($Br{\aa}nemark$), 토크 최대값 제한 장치(Pentaborn), 토크 표시 장치(ITI), 콘트라앵글 토크장치(Anthogyr))를 이용하여 나사의 조임 및 풀림 토크값을 측정하여 적정 토크 값과 토크 조절기를 통해 적용되는 실제 토크값에 대한 차를을 측정하여 토크 조절기의 정확도를 비교, 분석하였다. 풀림토크의 평균값 및 최대값과 최소값을 살펴 본 결과 Pentaborn과 같은 토크 최대값 제한 장치의 정확도가 다른 세 종류의 토크 조절기에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 15회 정도의 조임과 풀림은 큰 영향을 미치지 않지만 그 이상의 조임과 풀림은 정확한 토크 조절에 나쁜 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 토크 조절기가 일정하고 정확한 토크값을 반복적으로 유지하는지 확인 및 교정하면서 임상적으로 적용해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper deals with direct torque control of an induction motor (IM) with constant switching frequency. The desired torque is obtained from the speed controller which is designed using the IP controller. Decoupling control of torque and flux is developed based on the energy model of IM using the IP controller strategies. The desired d-axis and q-axis stator voltage components are obtained from the designed controller, which decouples torque and flux. The constant switching frequency can be applied using space-vector pulse width modulation, since the desired stator voltage can be known from the decoupling torque and flux controllers. In order to achieve stable operation of the proposed IP controllers, the gains of the controllers are chosen by setting the poles in negative (left) half of s-plane and by choosing the rising time for the response of the step function. The proposed controller was verified in simulations using Matlab/Simulink and results have proven excellent performance. It was found that the proposed IP controllers can provide excellent performance to track the desired torque and speed and to reject the disturbance of load.

In this paper, we consider feedback-linearizing control of VR (Variable Reluctance) motors which have been increasingly used in high performance direct-drive applications. We characterize all torque controllers that can make the generated torque of a VR motor linear to torque command but without torque ripple. The torque controlles maximize the range of torque commands which are admissible under the physical limitation in stator currents. The whole class of all such torque controllers is parameterized in the explicit form which contains a function to be chosen freely. This free function can be used to achieve other control objectives as well as linear dynamic characteristics. As the examples for optimal choices of the free function, we actually determine two optimal free functions, one for minimal rate of change in current commands and the other for minimal power loss due to stator resistance. To illuminate further the practical use of torque controllers proposed in this paper, we present some experimental results for the case of a commercially available VR motor.

This paper compares two types of direct torque controllers for permanent magnet synchronous motors(PMSMs). These controllers both use a single-chip FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) but have differing hardware configurations. One of the controllers was constructed by programming a soft-core CPU and hardware logic circuits written in VHDL(Very high speed IC Hardware Description Language), while the other was constructed of only hardware logic circuits. The characteristics of these two controllers were compared in this paper. The results show the controller constructed of only hardware logic circuits was able to shorten the control period and it was able to suppress the low torque ripple.

현재 임상적으로 여러 형태의 토크 조절기가 사용되고 있고, 토크 조절기에 따라 오차율이 다양하게 보고되고 있는데 제조회사에서 권장하는 적절한 조임력으로 나사가 조여지지 않을 경우 나사 풀림과 이에 따른 파절이 발생하여 결과적으로 보철물과 임플란트 매식체에 합병증이 야기될 수 있으므로 토크 조절기의 정확성이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 일정 토크 수준이 넘으면 핸들의 앞 부위가 꺾여지도록 만들어진 토크 최대값 제한 장치(TLD, torque limiting device), 눈금자가 표시되어 있는 활 형태로 조임력의 크기를 조절할 수 있는 토크 표시 장치(TID, torque indicating device), 콘트라앵글 핸드피스 형태에 조임력의 크기를 조절하거나 이미 정해진 조절기를 끼워서 사용하는 콘트라앵글 토크 조절장치(CA, contraangle torque device), 기계적인 토크 발생장치를 이용하여 적정 회전력을 가하는 전자 토크 조절기(ETC, electronic torque controller)등 네 종류의 토크 조절기를 이용하여 제조회사의 지시대로 나사를 조인 후 풀림 토크값을 측정하고 각각의 차이값을 구하여 토크 조절기의 정확도를 비교, 분석하고자 하였다. 콘트라앵글 토크 조절장치(CA)가 가장 측정값에 근접한 결과를 보였으며 토크 최대값 제한 장치(TLD)를 제외한 나머지 세 종류의 토크 조절기의 정확도는 서로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않지만, 토크 최대값 제한 장치(TLD) 의 경우 유의하게 낮은 정밀성을 보였으므로 이는 토크 부여 시 회전 속도에 따른 오차발생 가능성을 보여준다. 토크 표시 장치 (TID), 콘트라앵글 토크 조절장치 (CA) 와 같은 수동 토크 조절기는는 전자식 토크 조절기와 오차 범위 내에서의 유사한 정밀성을 보여주고 있으며 이는 임상에서 보다 주의 깊게 장치를 사용한다면 효과적인 전하중 부여가 가능함을 의미한다.

Most of feedback shift controllers developed in the past have fixed control parameters tuned by experts using a trial and error method. Therefore, those controllers cannot satisfy the best control performance under various driving conditions. To improve the shift quality under various driving conditions, a new self-organizing controller(SOC) that has an optimal control performance through self-learning of driving conditions and driver's pattern is designed in this study. The proposed SOC algorithm for the shift controller uses simple descent method and has less calculation time than complex fuzzy relation, thus makes real-time control passible. PCSV (Pressure Control Solenoid Valve) control current is used as a control input, and turbine speed of the torque converter is used indirectly to monitor the transient torque as a feedback signal, which is more convenient to use and economic than the torque signal measured directoly by a torque sensor. The results of computer simulations show that an apparent reduction of shift-transient torque is obtained through the process of each run without initial fuzzy rules and a good control performance in the shift-transient torque is also obtained.

This paper proposes the application of fuzzy control for high performance control of induction motor using electric vehicles. A fuzzy controller converts a set of liguistic rules based on expert knowledge into a automatic control strategy. Such controllers have often been found superior to conventional controllers especially when information being processed is inexact and uncertain. A system with fast torque response is very beneficial in applications where direct self control (DSC) is highly desirable. The response of DSC is slower during startup and during change in command torque. Fuzzy control is used for implementation of DSC to improve its slow response. Simulation implementation of the fuzzy logic controller was carried out to verify the behavior of the controller. The simulation results with fuzzy control are compared with those of the conventional DSC. The starting flux and torque response and the responses to the step changes in command torque with fuzzy implementation show a considerable improvement over the conventional control. The steady state responses in both the cases are the same.

The torque of SRM is developed by phase currents and inductance variation. Phase currents and inductance variation. Phase current is often the controlled variable in electrical motor drives, so it seems natural to use closed loop current controllers. However, the highly nonlinear nature of switched reluctance motors makes optimisation of closed loop current controlled difficult because of saturation effect in magnetic circuit. Therefore, torque generation region is nonlinearly varied according to phase current and rotor position. This paper describes the torque control scheme with neural network that can control varied with load torque. The torque control is simulated by PSIM.

Direct digital design of computed torque controllers for a robot manipulator is discussed in this paper. A simple discrete-time model of the robot manipulator obtained by Euler's method is used for the design. Taking account of computation delay in the digital processor, we propose predictor-based designs of the PD and PID type controllers. The PID type controller is designed based on a modified version of the discrete-time integral controller proposed by Mita. For both controllers, the same formulas can be used to determine the feedback gains. A simulation example is presented to compare the robustness of the proposed controllers against physical parameter variations.
