BASIS FOR MICRO-FACTORY: CNC MICROMACHINE TOOLS

摘要

The problem of development micro-factories is discussed. Micro-factories can help to reduce the consumption of resources (energy and materials), and space; can help to increase productivity. We propose to use micro machine tools (CNC), to create micro-cells of production. The base feature of micro-factories is the flexibility of production. Main requirements to micro CNC machines tools and control systems are described as well as prototypes of the developed micro machine tools and testing results are presented.
