This study presents a new approach to pressure control of a impression cylinder for roll coater which is a kind of face pressure control between blanket roll and impression roll. Roll-to-Roll method for printing is a very useful tool for mass production such as RFID elements, smart sensors and solar cell devices. In this study, a decupling control strategy of the roll coater which is a combination of a cylinder system, a dry system and two pressure regulators with two pneumatic cylinders was discussed. Also, the characteristics of component such as a pressure regulator having a pressure reducing function and the movement of a blanket roll and a impression cylinder were analyzed using the Matlab software. From this results, the techniques of a shock and a vibration reduction were suggested.

In hot strip mills, Portable Roll Scanner (the portable roll surface temperature and profile measuring device) can be used to calibrate on-line Process models for strip crown and flatness by measuring the thermal expansion and wear profile of the rolls. And the surface temperature measurement can be used to optimize the roll cooling system. Portable Roll Scanner consists of the measuring device, which has two contact inductive distance transducers for roll profile measurement and one infrared Pyrometer for surface temperature measurement, and computer-based controller that is equipped with the measuring device. By the wireless data communication, the data is transferred to the memory of notebook for further analysis. After roll extraction from mills, Portable Roll Scanner measure the roll profile and surface temperature simultaneously along the work roll face and display the results in the TFT color monitor of notebook. Portable Roll Scanner is useful at mill-side and roll grinding shop.

It is important to prevent roll failure in hot rolling process for reducing maintenance coat and production loss. Roll material and rolling conditions such as the roll force and torque have been intensively investigated to overcome the roll failures. In this study, a computer roll life prediction system under working condition is developed and evaluated on IBM-PC level. The system is composed and fatigue estimation models which are stress analysis, crack propagation, wear and fatigue estimation. Roll damage can be predicted by calculating the stress anplification, crack depth propagation and fatigue level in the roll using this computer model. The developed system is applied to a work roll in actual hot rolling process for reliability evaluation. Roll failures can be diagnosed and the propriety of current working condition can be determined through roll life prediction simulation.

The research for the development of roll-to-roll printing process is actively underway on behalf of the existing semiconductor process. The roll-to-roll printing system can make the electronic devices to low-cost mass production. This study is performed for developing the manufacturing technology of the printing roll used in the printing process of electronic devices. The indirect laser engraving technology is used to create printable roll and the printable roll is made out of the chrome coated roll after coating copper and polymer on the surface of steel roll, ablating the polymer on the surface of roll and etching the roll. The 3 dimensional laser scanner and roll rotating systems are constructed and the system control program is developed. We have used the fiber laser of 100 W grade, the 3 dimensional laser scanner and the 3 axes moving stage system with a rotating axis. We have found the optimal conditions by performing the laser patterning experiments and can make the minimum line width of $24{\mu}m$ by using the developed 3 dimensional laser scanner system.

This paper described about the system which can be inspect work roll surface for deciding a milling schedule and roll changing at hot strip mill in POSCO. Developed system consists of CCD camera, Xenon lamp with fiber bundle and mechanical control part. The water probe build up water pole between head of probe and roll surface to acquisite a good image from a work roll surface under the bad environment with steam, cooling water and high temperature. This system is possible to monitor a work roll surface of about 12${\times}$9mm. We have shown the validation of the developed system which can monitor the evolution of degradation on work roll surface.

연속공정이 가능한 Roll to Roll sputter system을 이용하여 플렉시블 indium tin oxide(ITO) 투명전극을 PET(polyethlyene terephthalate) 기판위에 성막하였다. 연속 성막공정을 위해 Roll to Roll sputter system에서의 unwinder roller와 rewinder roller를 이용한 servomotor의 rolling으로 기판의 움직임이 완벽히 제어되었으며, 외부 응력으로 부터의 안정성 및 성막 공정 시의 PET 기판의 열적 변형을 최소화하기 위한 접촉식 냉각방식의 cooling system을 main drum으로 사용하였다. 또한 고분자 기판과 투명전극 사이의 adhesion을 향상시키기 위한 전처리 공정으로 gridless linear ion beam source를 pretreatment system으로 구축하였다. 이렇게 제작된 Roll to Roll sputter system을 이용하여 PET 기판위에 연속공정을 통해 ITO 투명전극을 성막하였다. 성막된 플렉시블 ITO/PET 투명전극은 XRD, HREM, SEM 분석을 통하여 main drum의 cooling에 의해 완전한 비정질 구조를 나타내었음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 비록 Roll to Roll sputter system을 통하여 상온에서 성막 되었음에도 불구하고 최적화 된 조건에서 가시광선 영역 83.46 %의 높은 광투과도 값과 47.4 Ohm/square의 비교적 낮은 먼저항 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 Bending test 결과를 통하여 ion source의 전처리 공정으로 굽힘/평의 반복적 응력에 따른 전기적 특성 열화를 최소화 할 수 있음을 보였다. 최적화된 플렉시블 투명전극을 이용하여 P3HT:PCBM 기반의 플렉시블 유기태양전지를 제작하였으며, 제작된 유기태양전지로부터 1.88%의 power conversion efficiency (PCE)을 확보함으로써 플렉시블 유기태양전지 제작을 위한 ITO/PET 투명전극 성막 공법으로써 Roll to Roll sputter system의 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, a systematic approach for roll pass design in bar rolling was studied. To minimize the trial and errors in the process design, a roll CAD system and a FE analysis system were combined. Based on the system, a methodology for roll pass design by FEM was studied. At first, designed process was compared with the FE analysis results and process redesign based on the FEM results was performed to obtain the specified final geometry. Then, empirical formula for roll speed set-up was compared with the FE analysis results. Further study on various simulations for bar rolling will help in making up for the inaccuracy in the currently used empirical roll speed rules. In addition, verification of the accuracy of the FE analysis system must be performed using experimental data in the industry.

Currently, new and renewable energy come into the spotlight, such as solar energy, wind power, fuel cell, hybrid car etc., due to the energy resource is being depleted. Especially, in order to solve like this problem, the study of solar cell manufacturing systems are being extensively researched such as vacuum process. But the major fault of the vacuum process are its expensive production price. On the order hand, Roll-to-roll printing system, the new technology of solar cell manufacturing, has low production price compare with the vacuum process. Also roll-to-roll printing system can decrease the 95% of waste water and 99.9% of harmful gasses than the vacuum process. So we addressed the roll to roll printing system for the flexible solar cell by using printing technology. This roll-to-roll printing system is comprised of various modules, such as web handling module, fine pattern printing module, dry/curing module, uniform coating module and laminating module etc.
