In this research, a new piston pinhole boring machine for simultaneous 3-axis machining using linear motor and tilting unit is developed. We propose a new method that combines the linear motor and tilting unit to overcome the limitations of existing techniques. By using the linear motor, we suggest oval machining of piston pin holes. The horizontal reciprocating motion of the linear motor allows for oval machining, creating horizontal or vertical ovals on the pin holes based on the spindle tool's rotation angle. For profile machining of piston pin holes, we propose the use of a tilting unit that converts servo motor motion into linear motion. The vertical motion of the tilting unit enables profile machining, allowing the spindle tool connected to it to translate vertically during spindle rotation and shape the pin holes. To ensure simultaneous oval and profile machining, we suggest channel synchronization, separating the oval and profile machining channels. Synchronizing these channels enables both oval and profile machining to be performed simultaneously on the pin holes. In summary, this research aims to develop a piston pinhole boring machine that effectively utilizes the linear motor and tilting unit for accurate and productive pin hole machining, achieving simultaneous 3-axis machining.

In this research, a new structure of an asymmetric piston dedicated machining center is developed. By applying 2 linear motors in this machine, the slide unit structure could be simplified by comparing to the ball screw method, resulting in easier maintenance of the machine and enabling simultaneous machining in 2 axes and high-speed precision machining. In addition, a dedicated HMI for the asymmetric piston is developed to support efficient operation by workers, allowing them to verify product quality and take necessary actions. It is confirmed that by fully utilizing control libraries and productive programming languages, immediate response to future demands could be achieved. Through speed control loop performance testing, it is confirmed that applying feedforward function could improve the response speed, control accuracy, and stability of the speed control loop. The application of polynomial interpolation and Newton interpolation in the actual machining of asymmetric pistons confirmed the achievement of dynamic machining precision at high speeds. The developed machine and HMI are expected to contribute significantly to the efficiency, productivity, and improvement of product quality in the machining of asymmetric pistons.

When developing a new motor, a high-speed load test is performed using dynamo equipment to calculate the efficiency of the developed motor using the collected dynamo data. When connecting the test motor and the dynamo used as a load, abnormal noise and vibration may occur in the test equipment rotating at high speed due to misalignment of the connecting shaft and looseness of the connection, which may lead to a safety accident. In this study, three vibration sensors are attached to the surface of bearing parts of the test motor to measure the vibration value, and statistics such as kurtosis, skewness, and percentiles are obtained in order to clearly express the pattern of the measurement data. With these statistics, machine learning models are developed. The developed model in this way can be used as a diagnostic system that can detect abnormal conditions of the motor test equipment through monitoring the motor vibration data during the motor test.

Motor-operated valve functions to block or connect the flow of fluid in nuclear power plant and especially safety-related valves are evaluated with operability margin calculations, that should have positive value in both open and close stroke. Although all actuators have inertia force which increase operating margin of valve closing stroke, inertia force, after control switch operation in actuator is not considered in evaluating operability margin calculation process. In this paper, the hidden margin by inertia force of each actuator model in closing stroke was studied quantitatively.

This paper describes the design of H-infinity controller for robust control of a DC motor system. The suggested controller can ensure robustness against disturbance and model uncertainty by minimizing H-infinity norm of the transfer function from exogenous input to performance output and applying the small gain theorem. In particular, the controller was designed to reduce the effects of disturbance and model uncertainty simultaneously by formalizing these problems as a mixed sensitivity problem. The validity of the proposed controller was demonstrated by computer simulations and real experiments. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed controller was confirmed by comparing its performance with PI controller, which was tested under the same experimental condition as the H-infinity controller.

In this study, the cooling performance of the motor was analyzed according to the number and the length of the fins of the heat sink, and at the same time, the effect of forced convection on the cooling performance improvement by changing the air flow speed of the cooling fan was conducted. In order to find out the cooling performance in terms of turbulent kinetic energy, pressure, and temperature according to the number of heat sink fins, length of fins, and wind speed of the cooling fan, an aluminum heat sink was modeled according to the size of the motor. The heating value of the motor was calculated, and it was set to be the same under all analysis conditions. The turbulence model applied for numerical analysis in this study used the standard k-ε model. As a result, it was confirmed that the cooling effect of the heat sink increases as the air flow speed of the cooling fan, the number of fins, and the length of fins increase.

Industrial Motors diagnostic equipment is highly dependent on the automation system, so if there are defects in the automation equipment, it can only rely on the operator’s intuitive judgment.To help with intuitive judgment, Park’s Vactor Approach(PVA) represents the current signal as a pattern of circles, so it can tell if a fault occurs when the circle is distorted. However, the failure to judge the degree of distortion of the circle pattern is the basis of the fault, so it will face difficulties. In this paper, in order to compare the faults of PVA, the period of d-axis current of PVA pulsation was mastered, so that two phase differences occurred in the same signal source. Through experiments, it is confirmed that this is a 90 degree cross formation of PVA, which is convenient for judging from the vision that there is no fault, thus helping the operator to make intuitive judgment.

This paper deals with the disturbance observer (DOB) based sliding mode control (SMC) for a DC motor to control motor rotating speed precisely and to ensure strong robustness against disturbance including load torque and parameter variation. The reason of steady state error in speed on conventional SMC without DOB is analyzed in detail. Especially, the suggested DOB is designed to prevent measuring noise and harmonics caused by derivative operation on rotating speed. The control performance of the DOB based SMC is evaluated by the various simulations. The simulation results showed that the DOB based SMC had more robust performance than the SMC system without DOB. Especially, precise speed control was possible even though motor parameter variation and load torque was added to the system.

Air Defense System requires fast movement of the turret to detect and attack the flying target of enemy. In order for the air defense system to operate accurately and properly, it is necessary to optimize the design of the motor brake system. The air defense system that is not designed properly has possibility of low performance of the gun turret and environment of operators. The previous air defense system had such flaw in its design and it caused much noise and current in the operation of the turret. In order to resolve this flaw, we changed the position and design of the components of the motor brake system to reduce load and achieved the 62.5% reduced current and 40% reduced noise of the motor brake system compared to the previous design.
