Study on a Design Evaluation Tool for Machine Tools -Evaluation of design parameters aiming robust miniaturization-

摘要

This paper applies the method of robust design to machine tool design to propose a new design tool which can show some design suggestions at the early design stage. As a design evaluation example, the paper focuses on an ultra miniature that provides significant for energy and space saving. The approach combines and analytical procedure representing the machining motions of a machine tool (form-shaping theory) with procedures for robust design.
