In the chemical plating of the randomly loaded workpiece, it is very important to promote the agitation of plating solution and secure the space for the chemical reaction. This study investigated the possibility of chemical plating using only vibration, as well as the plating characteristics for a combination of vibration and pressurized floating. The results of the study indicate that it is possible to perform chemical plating with only vibration, and the amount of plating increases as the vibrating frequency increases. Additionally, when combined with the vibration and pressurized floating, the probability of securing a chemical reaction space and the probability of stirring become high, resulting in highly effective plating.

Pressure sensors are widely used in industries, including cars and coolers. Highly accurate pressure sensors are capable of corresponding to changes in the surrounding temperature. Additionally, the manufacturing process of pressure sensors greatly impacts the cost and degree of precision. This study undertook to examine the manufacturing process of pressure sensors, especially those using ceramic diaphragm. Ruthenium oxide (RuO2) was used instead of strain gauge for piezoresistance. TC thermistor (temperature coefficient) resistance compensated for changes in outdoor air temperature. Furthermore, thick-film resistors were precisely adjusted with laser trimming technology. These processes resulted in the production of a high accuracy diaphragm pressure sensor having an ability to correspond to changes in outdoor temperatures.

Plating small sizes and quantities of workpieces requires their random loading in baskets, rather than individual loading manually. This random loading results in rubbing and collision amongst them, thereby making it impossible to conduct chemical reactions for plating, 4as the plating solution is unable to permeate to the overlapping workpiece surfaces. In this study, we developed a new plating technique under floating workpieces, by spraying high pressurized solution into a randomly loaded basket. In addition, this is accompanied by automatic optimization of the concentration through stirring of the plating solution. Experiments show that test samples were successfully floated at the optimized pressure of 50 kN/㎡. In addition, experiments in the plating parameter variation show the best plating performance at temperatures of 40℃, A and B chromate concentration at ratio = 1 : 2, an immersion time of 180 sec, and the pH value of 2.2, under optimized floated conditions.

High efficiency production requires the improved performance of CAD/CAM system. Although the CAD and CAM have been significantly developed over the last three decades, they must still study on the reuse of information during process. In this study, we developed a new integrated CAD/CAM system which can reuse the information generated in previous processes, in order to improve its performance. In addition, the developed system was verified by comparing with working-time, and system reproducibility was also examined with tolerance in the unmanned operation. Experimental results showed 58% reduction in working-time of 2D Auto-CAM module, 80% in case of 3D Auto-Exchange module, and 54.5% in case of Auto-Design module.

Recent high oil price results in the development of energy saving technology such as LED lighting system. Street-lighting system using COH LED package can save energy because the heat dissipation through cupper base is better than conventional technology. Studies on manufacturing processes of lighting system are insufficient even though LED package design and its heat analysis have been studied. This study focuses on the problem and solution of manufacturing processes such as LED packaging process, optimized emission angle, and LED bar dimension for mechanical assembly. As a result, we established better manufacturing alternatives of LED packaging and street-lighting system with higher lighting efficiency of 84 lm/W, as well as good illumination intensity of 39.7 lux at 6 m from lighting source.

Focused-ion-beam (FIB) system is capable of both machining and measuring in nano-scale; hence nano-scale focusing quality is important. This paper investigates design parameters of two electrostatic lenses in order to achieve the best ion beam focusing performance. Commercial SIMION simulator is used to optimize the dimensions of the condenser and objective lenses and investigate the influence of assembly error on focusing quality. The simulation results show that the beam focusing quality is not influenced by angle deviation within ±0.02 deg and geometrical eccentricity within ±50 micrometers.
