Manufacturers currently struggle with the assessment of a machine/robots' accuracy degradation that limits the efficiency of machine/robots in high precision applications. Current best practice in industry is to inspect the final products or add redundancies (local calibration, etc.) during the process to determine the machine's accuracy and performance. These create complexities in the process and increase the maintenance costs of applications such as high precision robot operations (welding, robotic drilling/riveting, and composite material layout), in-process metrology, and machines in mobile applications. A higher speed, more precise control of position and orientation is required to remedy these complexities. A novel smart target was designed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to integrate with a vision system to acquire high-accuracy, real-time 6-D (six-dimensional x, y, and z position, roll. pitch, and yaw orientation) information. This paper presents the development of the smart target and the image processing algorithm to output 6-D information. A use case is presented using the smart target on universal robots (UR3 and UR5) to demonstrate the feasibility of using the smart target to perform the robot accuracy assessment.
The paper presents practical aspects of insuring the accuracy of manufacturing parts on CNC machine tools operating in "Smart manufacturing". A model is described that reflects quantitative and logical relat...

This paper proposes a new design technology that uses a morphological matrix of the basic structures and their structural components to help develop a full-scale hierarchical IMS architecture based on automated processcontrol systems at 110+ kV substations of 110 kV or 35 kV and 110 kV APCS's utilized by regional grid companies. To adopt advanced systems for diagnosis and power monitoring of 110+ kV output transformers, one needs to prove such adoption feasible, to use optics and SMART grid technologies;such adoption determines further grid development and serves better grid monitoring and automation. Equipment visualization helps evaluate its condition and decide reasonably on how to maintain it. The paper describes a novel method for displaying diagnostic data, which generates a cognitive graphical image of a code matrix on the address space of the ROM;the image shows normalized equivalents of multiple optimal control states to save 5% to 40% of electricity making the equipment more energy-efficient at minimum energy costs. To effectively implement the diagnostic system and to use state-of-theart method for monitoring the main equipment of the power grid complex, one needs a uniform integrated approach to diagnostics based on proven and methodologically sound technological solutions that enable condition-appropriate maintenance and repair.

Measuring partial discharges in electrical insulation systems is becoming a standard procedure for quality control, qualification and commissioning of electrical apparatus. Even more important, partial discharges are the main property to be monitored to assess the health conditions of any organic insulation system. However, large part of the potentiality offered by partial discharge measurements is hindered by the need of experts to record, process and interpret data, which delays and even prevent from the diffusion of this diagnostic property. This paper presents a new algorithm which seems to be very effective in providing automatic separation of partial discharges from noise, which is the first step to develop a fully automatic and unsupervised diagnostic approach. Multi-dimensional signal decomposition is achieved resorting to various transformation applied to recorded pulses, including time and frequency domains, and entropy. Clusters thus obtained are separated by statistical and artificial intelligence algorithms. Applications to AC sinusoidal voltage supply are presented, highlighting that the proposed approach is valid also under DC and power electronics supply.

A reflectometric system will be installed in the RFX-mod2 experiment, consisting of 4 couples of transmitting/receiving antennas working in the range 16-26.5 GHz in X-mode wave propagation for tokamak discharges. They will be placed within dedicated plasma accesses in the same poloidal section at 4 equispaced poloidal positions, two on the equatorial plane, High Field Side (HFS)/Low Field Side (LFS), and two at the vertical top/bottom ports. This configuration was conceived to perform plasma position control experiments without using the magnetic measurement signals. While the accesses in LFS, top and bottom positions will accommodate pyramidal antennas, the strict room constraints in the HFS position required a special routing of the feeding waveguide and the design of a different type of antenna, described in the paper. The horn reflector (also named hoghorn) type was preferred which allows radiating (and receiving) a beam at a 90 degrees direction with respect to the horn axis, which will be perpendicular to the equatorial plane. After fixing a reference working frequency f = 21 GHz (wavelength lambda = 14.3 mm), an antenna fitting the available room was designed by means of the COMSOL Multiphysics Radio Frequency module. Four different versions were developed by introducing some modifications of the aperture shape to study their effect on the antenna performance. FEM analyses were run for frequencies in the 17-26 GHz interval to characterize the frequency response in terms of radiative patterns of the total and far electric field. The directivity of the antennae was also evaluated. The 4 versions exhibited comparable responses and the observed beam directional properties at the expected plasma distance were considered acceptable for the development of this application. A prototype of the antenna has been realized by additive manufacturing process.
