Item type:Publication, A simulation of the number of particles trapped by the circulating filter of a hard disk drive and their trajectories(2014-01-01); Pongkom, VanaA transition shear stress transport turbulence model and a discrete phase model of Fluent software were employed to simulate numerically the trajectories of loose particles and the number of them trapped by the circulating filter of a hard disk drive (HDD). The filter was located either at the left or the right of a 2.5 inch dual platter HDD rotating at 7200 rpm. Particles were released from the middle diameter position where four head gimbal assemblies (HGAs) were located. The simulation included airflow and particle trajectories released from any of the four HGAs. The results of this simulation can help determine the efficiency of a circulating filter and its optimal placement. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Development of an industrial ultrasonic cleaning tank based on harmonic response analysis(2019-01-01) ;Tangsopa, WorapolA small industrial ultrasonic cleaning tank, which is one of the best-selling models, had cleaning problems. Customers sometimes complained that the tank did not completely clean all objects, or that some objects got damaged, so a solution to the problem was urgently needed. The tank has a volume of 18 L, frequency of 28 kHz, eight horn style PZT4 transducers, and a total electric power of 400 W. The cleaning occurs from the cavitation effect which corresponds to an increase in the acoustic pressure. A computer simulation is presented using a harmonic response analysis (HRA) in ANSYS to resolve and improve the efficacy of the tank. From the simulation, we found that the acoustic pressure within the tank was uneven. The distribution of acoustic pressure had a characteristic pattern depending on the placement of the transducers. When the temperature was increased, the acoustic pressure was decreased leading to a cleaning efficacy drop as well. All simulation results were correlated to the foil corrosion test and power concentration experiment. The HRA was used to redesign the tank for higher cleaning efficacy. The simulation results indicated that more suitable placement of the transducers lead to a more intensified acoustic pressure, and a better distribution throughout the tank. This research not only resolved the cleaning problems that occurred in the 28 kHz tank, but was also demonstrated that it can be applied to a 40 kHz tank as well. Results from this research were accepted and approved by the manufacturer, and were used by them to develop smarter industrial ultrasonic tanks with higher cleaning efficacy for commercial sale. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Feasibility Study for Installing Machine in Production Line to Avoid Particle Contamination Based on CFD Simulation(2017-11-01) ;Khaokom, AdisornVentilation system inside production line for electronic component production needs to meet the factory standard. Because it can eliminate small particles which may cause of human or machine in production as well as it can distribute the circulating air temperature uniformly. CFD is used in this research in order to study the feasibility and plan for machine layout in production line before actual installation. The simulation shows the airflow in every area inside production line. From simulation with releasing the particles from human and machine is found that this ventilation system generates airflow that makes most particles float out of the machines and no particle downs to the conveyor, it results to contamination. In addition, the simulation also shows the range of 19-26 °C air temperature that meets the factory standard. The results of this research are the parts of the data to renovate the production line to get more efficiency and proper on the production. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Optimum airflow to reduce particle contamination inside welding automation machine of hard disk drive production line(2015-03-01); Welding automation machine (WAM), used for welding minute components to the head gimbal assembly (HGA) of a hard disk drive (HDD), needs to operate in a strictly clean environment. In today’s HDD factories, to prevent airborne particle contamination to the WAM, Fan Filter Units (FFUs) are installed on top of it to supply clean air and blow away outside airborne micro particles, keeping the microenvironment clean. Furthermore, the mass of the clean air should also carry away harmful particles generated inside the microenvironment. In this research, numerical simulation of airflow inside a WAM was performed in order to verify these cleaning functions of the airflow. A transition shear stress transport turbulence model was employed to simulate airflow from the FFUs through and out of the microenvironment. The simulation results showed that the airflow from the FFUs truly performs the two cleaning functions as intended. Moreover, they also revealed that the optimum air speed, the speed resulting in the lowest particle counts, is in the range of 0.35–0.55 m/s. Our findings can be useful for developers who may use FFUs to reduce particle counts in the environment of other types of industrial machinery. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Improved Design of Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank Using Harmonic Response Analysis in ANSYS(2018-06-14) ;Tangsopa, W. ;Keawklan, T. ;Kesngam, K. ;Ngaochai, S.Ultrasonic cleaning tank is a machine that many factories widely used to clean objects. At one factory, a problem occurred in the cleaning process, resulting in the factory not being able to clean objects, but cracks also appeared on some objects. It was anticipated that these were caused by uneven acoustics pressure distribution which resulted in unsuitable cavitation. This directly affected cleaning performance within the tank. In order to improve the tank's efficacy, in this research, we used Harmonic Response Analysis in ANSYS 17.2 to simulate the occurrence of acoustic pressure in the tank to find a suitable type and placing position of the transducer for the tank. We found that transducers made from PZT4 gives greater acoustic pressure than those made from PZT8. Changing the transducer type does not affect the acoustic pressure pattern. PZT4 is therefore the most suitable type of transducer for this tank. Simulation results also suggested that placing the transducer under and beside the tank will result in intense acoustic pressure that is evenly dispersed throughout the tank. Results from this simulation were then passed to the manufacturing factory, and were later accepted that it could truly enhance the tank's efficacy. Information regarding the issue was also used in the development of improved design of ultrasonic cleaning tank to have greater performance levels. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Successful simulation of airflow in the microenvironment of an assembly automation machine and its implication(2014-01-01); Khaokom, AdisornToday, the hard disk drive (HDD) industry is using assembly automation machine (AAM) to construct head stack assembly (HSA) from smaller parts. AAM needs to operate in a clean environment with very low particle counts. To achieve this end, fan filter Unit (FFU) is used to supply purified air into the environment by filtering out airborne particles from recirculating air. In this study, we investigated numerically the airflow induced by FFUs inside a microenvironment that houses an AAM in an HDD factory. The boundary conditions chosen for simulation were directly derived from the real ambient conditions in this HDD factory. We found that the FFUs not only filter out airborne particles from the air supplied into the microenvironment but also act as a particle blocker, pushing away the nearby particles in the air surrounding the openings of the microenvironment. The findings from this study can be applied to cases where other kinds of machinery need to be protected from airborne particles. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, A Problem of Particulate Contamination in an Automated Assembly Machine Successfully Solved by CFD and Simple Experiments(2017-01-01)Assembly of hard disk drives (HDDs) needs to be done in an automated assembly machine (AAM) virtually free of particulate contamination that can cause them to malfunction. Fan filter units (FFUs) are installed above the AAM to reduce the number of suspended particles in the recirculating air flowing over and around them. At one time, several HDDs were found to be defective. To find out the root cause of this problem, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to investigate the airflow over and around the AAM. It was found that the cause of the high particle counts was improper air speed from the FFUs. The optimal FFUs air speed needed to be in the range of 0.35-0.65 m/s in which the airflow would block out nearby airborne particles and purge away particles generated by the AAM effectively which would, in effect, reduce the particle counts down below the threshold level of class 100 clean room. A few available measurement tools at the factory were then used to perform validating measurements against the simulation results, and the validation was positive. This optimal speed range was implemented at the factory after which the level of contamination was reduced to an acceptable level. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, A CFD investigation of airflow in a hard disk drive production line to detect the cause(s) of contamination and its mitigation(2017-07-02) ;Khaokom, Adisorn; Kaewkhaw, PolsateContamination exceeds the standards in certain areas within the production line of hard disk drive (HDD) manufacturing, such as in the clean room of a factory. In order to find the cause(s) and solve the problem, we decided to use the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the airflow within the production line. The results show the cause of contamination, which is from the exhaust fan installed in the electrical testing machine in the production line of HDD manufacturing, which releases large amounts of particles. To resolve this problem, the CFD results were analyzed to design and create a new cover for the exhaust fan. Once this invention is installed to the electrical testing machine, it can control the airflow to float into other areas that do not affect nor contaminate the product. The factory utilized this research. Other than solving contamination problems that exceed standards, it also saves production costs from purchasing new machines as well.
