Abstract

In shipbuilding industry, there is conducting most of works by welding at the shipyard, and the volume of welding is increasing with international trends of green ships. Welding joint is guaranteed quality through non-destructive testing (NDT). The manual welding inspection report is produced by identifying the drawings designed, which results in losses the many workforce and occurs human errors. To solve these problems, this paper covers a system that reports on inspection information is automatically generation by input data based on shipbuilding-specific CAD. The developed system analyzes the shape data from drawings of modeling. Also, the system determines welding joints through expansion of the part boundary and generates tag numbers. In addition, it provides the function to automatically extract the information needed for inspection such as weld length, thickness and etc. We conducted test to verify the usefulness of the developed system and confirmed that the welding inspection information extracted through system matches the information shown in drawings of modeling.

조선소에서 이루어지는 선박 건조는 용접에 의해 수행되고 있으며, 친환경선박에 대한 국제적인 요구에 따라 용접물량은 증가하고 있다. 용접부는 비파괴검사를 통하여 품질을 보증하고 있으며, 검사 정보를 나타내는 리포트는 인력이 설계된 도면을 확인하여 수작업으로 용접검사 리포트가 작성된다. 이 과정에서 소요되는 많은 공수와 인적오류로 인하여 손실이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 본 논문에서는 조선 전용 CAD 소프트웨어를 기반으로 설계된 데이터를 입력하여 용접검사에 관한 리포트가 자동으로 생성되는 시스템에 대하여 다룬다. 개발하는 시스템은 모델링의 도면으로부터 형상 데이터를 분석하여 부재 면의 확장을 통해 용접부를 판단 및 태그 넘버를 생성하고, 용접길이, 두께, 재질 등 검사에 필요한 정보를 자동으로 추출하는 기능을 제공한다. 시스템의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 시스템을 통해 추출된 검사 정보와 모델링 도면을 비교하여 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.
