What is a machine tool?

A machine tool is a machine used for manufacturing machinery that produces parts for all kinds of products, and includes the following:

Machining center

: Automatically and continuously processes a workpiece by rotating a cutting tool

Electrical discharge machine

: Processes a workpiece without contact by melting it with electrical sparks.

Lathe

: Processes a workpiece by rotating it

What are the trends in machine tools?

  • ❶ Improved production efficiency and reduced lead times
  • ❷ Safe operation for maintaining and improving production quality
  • ❸ Support for various kinds of variations
  • ❹ Management of various oils (cutting and lubricating)
