Positioning systems play an important role in industrial and scientific applications. Therefore, their performance improvements and functional expansions are crucial. Positioning systems generally consist of mechanisms, actuators, controllers, and sensors, and the performance and functions of the system depend on their integration. Therefore, positioning technologies encompass these elements and their integration. Furthermore, technologies such as AI and IoT are being incorporated to improve the performance and functionalities, and expand the applications. This special issue aims to provide researchers with access to the latest research and practical case studies on elemental technologies for positioning, and industrial and peripheral technology applications. The topics of interest in this special issue include but are not limited to the following: – Elemental technologies: Design and Characteristics of Mechanisms and Actuators, Control technology, Sensors, Measurement technology, System design, Simulations, Materials – Industrial applications: Machine tools, Semiconductor manufacturing equipment, Measuring instruments, Robots, Scanning probe microscope – Applications of peripheral technologies: AI, IoT, Signal processing, Image processing, DX, Green Technology. |

The development of machining and measurement systems is strongly driven by the demands of digital transformation (DX) and green transformation (GX). Specifically, it is necessary to solve critical challenges in various fields, such as design, manufacturing, inspection, maintenance, and recycling, in response to the requirements of labor reduction, skill-free operation, and efficiency improvement throughout the entire production process. Furthermore, it is necessary to maintain social prosperity while controlling resource consumption by connecting these challenges. Therefore, tools that have supported production, such as machine tools, assembly machines, industrial robots, and measuring instruments, need to improve their conventional basic performance. It is also vital to circulate design, evaluation, and operational information in the value cycle. The papers in this special issue discuss the concept of design, manufacturing, and evaluation technologies of production machines, methods of circulating information for individual tools, and evaluation methods from the perspective of GX. •Optimal design of production machines and measurement systems |
