(VerticalNews) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Technology
-- New research on Manufacturing is the subject of a report. According to news
originating from Cincinnati, Ohio, by VerticalNews editors, the research
stated, "Purchasing the correct machine tool can have strategic
implications for manufacturers, because incorrect selection will eventually
lead to quality and productivity losses. Prior research has concentrated on
developing an analytical decision support system to select and compare machine
tools based on machine functionality-not capability."
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research,
"Machine tool selection decision analyses concentrate on machine
specifications and characteristics, which disregard the actual machine accuracy
and dynamic performance. In this paper, the need to include machine accuracy
and performance in terms of cycle time, tool wear, and surface finish is
described with a case study of manufacturing a typical aerospace component
using three different production methodologies on three computer numeric
controller milling machines. Even though the three selected machine tools have
similar technical specifications, which are adequate to manufacture the sample
aerospace part, the machine accuracy and dynamic machining performance of the
machines is significantly different."
According to the news editors, the research concluded:
"We conclude that it is necessary to include machine tool performance and
production readiness attributes and not solely rely on the specifications when
considering machine tool selection and purchasing."
