Mechatronic‑modular production of machine tools – is a function of the cost of resources

Abstract

The annual and prospective increase in the cost of resources (material and energy carriers) leads to an increase in the cost of cast blanks, the cost of machine tools and a decrease in their competitiveness. The directions of thrift of basic and auxiliary materials, reduction of machine tool manufacturing time due to a revolutionary approach to the principles of design and creation of basic parts from unified modular cast blanks are proposed.
