A SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING MANUFACTURING SKILLS

摘要：

　　Manufacturing skills can be transferred through a two-step process: analysis of skills and work training.In this study, a system is developed to support these two steps.Moreover, the effectiveness of this system is shown by a trial application.For the analysis of skills, the developed system incorporates a force sensor and visual sensor.The force sensor continuously measures the forces performed by a skilled worker.The visual sensor (motion capture) measures the posture and locus of the dominant hand.Analytical methods such as frequency analysis and vector analysis are then used to examine the data obtained by these sensors.The results of the analysis determine the characteristics of a workers skill.An experiment was performed to verify the practicality of this support system.The experimental task is polishing of a metal mould.First, the measurement of the forces, the posture of the right hand, and locus of a skilled worker are measured.Then, the manufacturing skill is characterized by the power spectrum, amplitude, and direction of the force.Next, trainees conduct the work training of polishing by comparing their forces simultaneously with the force of the skilled worker.This experiment shows that the characteristics of manufacturing skills can be clarified numerically and that the work training period can be shortened using the developed system.
