EU promotes "next generation production system" for CNC machine tools

With the transfer of traditional manufacturing to China, European and American industrial developed countries are developing and implementing new manufacturing strategies to maintain and strengthen their competitiveness. The EU believes that manufacturing is still an important force driving the economic development of Europe, but its connotation will change. It is a high-tech manufacturing industry, that is, knowledge-based manufacturing. Its mission is to rebuild European manufacturing and realize industrial structure. Modernization transformation.

To this end, the EU attaches great importance to the development of the CNC machine tool industry. From 2003 to 2015, the European Machine Tool Industry Cooperation Committee (CECIMO) organized the European International Machine Tool Show. In the odd years, the European International Machine Tool Show was held in Hannover, Germany and Milan, Italy; At the same time, the technical department of the European Machine Tool Industry Cooperation Committee was established to support the research and development of machine tool technology. Some research projects include some parts of the machine tool, such as the “EC 7th Framework Programme (FP7)” and “Thematic Network Manufacturing Technology”. (Thematic Network on Manufacturing Technologies, MANTYS)", "Environmental Product Life Cycle Management for building competitive machine tools (PROLIMA)" and "Next Generation Production System (NEXT Generation) Production System)" and so on. The following is a brief introduction to the main content of the "next generation production system."

In order to improve the competitiveness of European manufacturing industry tomorrow, the European Community funded 25 companies from 9 countries including European Machine Tool Association, manufacturers, research institutes, end users and banks to carry out “Next Generation Production”. Systems)" research. The project funds up to 24 million euros for a period of four years, from 2005 to 2009. In September 2007, the Hannover Machine Tool Exhibition organized a special report on the project.

The next generation production system project mainly includes the following five items:
1 green machine tool;
2 user-oriented intelligent machine tools;
3 breakthrough high-efficiency processing technology;
4 new areas of economic activity;
5 new training and promotion methods.

The expected goals of the next generation production system project are:
(1) Improve the competitiveness of enterprises. Improve the competitiveness of manufacturing companies by increasing the productivity and product quality of production systems;
(2) Environment. Strive to minimize the environmental load of the production system and achieve sustainable development;
(3) Employment. A new generation of careers that improve existing conditions so that women can also be qualified to work in manufacturing;
(4) Quality of life. Improve occupational safety, improve working conditions, and protect workers' health;
(5) Manufacturing image. Improving the image of manufacturing industrial production and research is no longer a painstaking and tiring job.

1. Green machine tool
The machine tool is a working machine that converts the blank into parts. It not only consumes energy but also produces solid, liquid and gas waste during use, causing direct or indirect pollution to the working environment and the natural environment. From the perspective of the entire machine life cycle, how to reduce the environmental impact of green machine tools has become a hot topic of current research. Green machine tools should have the following characteristics:

(1) Machine tool parts are manufactured from recycled materials;
(2) The weight and volume of the machine tool are reduced by more than 50%;
(3) Reduce power consumption by 30% to 40% by reducing the mass of the mobile and reducing the power of the idle operation;
(4) Reduce the waste of the process by 50% to 60% to ensure a basically non-polluting working environment;
(5) After scrapping, the material of the machine tool can be recycled 100%.

The EC attaches great importance to the research of green machine tools. In addition to the above-mentioned “next generation production system”, it also funded another project “Eco-efficiency machine tools”.

2. Intelligent machine tool
If the vision of a green machine is environmentally friendly, then the goal of a smart machine is user-friendly. The meaning of “user friendly” is to greatly improve work efficiency and work more comfortable and safe. This requires the machine tool to achieve self-management, automatic identification of machining tasks and machining status, no or little manual intervention, and the ability to communicate with the operator in a timely manner and become "smart". It can be expected that smart processing will open up a new era of CNC machine tools. The research on intelligent machine tools aiming at "smart" involves the following three areas: 1 intelligent functional components and software; 2 intelligent machining processes; 3 intelligent numerical control.

3. Breakthrough efficient processing
Conducting research on key technologies enables breakthroughs in every field to achieve an ultra-high-performance manufacturing process. The following four objectives are proposed: 1 to increase the acceleration of the CNC axis by 3 to 5 times; 2 to increase the speed by 3 to 5 times; 3 to increase the productivity of the numerically controlled machine tool by 5 times; 4 to greatly improve the machining accuracy of the machine tool.

4. New areas of economic activity
The following seven ways are used to achieve the goals of the new economic activity field: 1 production process; 2 monitoring and measurement; 3 adaptive technology; 4 new materials; 5 new structure; 6 control system;

5. New business models and training
Machine tool users want machine tool suppliers to provide full lifecycle services, so it is necessary to establish a comprehensive partnership between end users and machine tool builders to provide a strong, new business model with the following characteristics: 1 The concept of innovative value 2 change of marketing organization and method; 3 financial management method based on output and availability payment; 4 machine system configuration customization.

For companies interested in improving their international competitiveness, provide software tools and methods to support them in establishing new strategic business relationships. Promoting a new generation of production systems requires a large amount of academic theory and expertise training for small and medium-sized enterprises that use machine tools throughout Europe.
