Abstract

Industrial products today are expected to be smaller, lighter, and more multi-functioned, and such products consist of numbers of extremely small and precise components. Yet, turnovers of such products are short, and their production volumes fluctuate at extreme. The production engineering for such components, however, which should correspond to, and optimized for this situation is still in progress, even though such components are growing in numbers and kinds: becoming even smaller in size and the demand fluctuates more. We have developed extremely compact machining center and CNC lathe, which covers these points: most optimum means of production for small or microscopic components. We have also built a concept of a production system, today commonly called “desktop factory” by using multiple numbers of these “desktop” machines.
