Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

A new Reconfigurable Machine Tools (RMT) based on an innovative modular and scalable axis driver is presented. The elements and the characteristics of the RMT are analysed and discussed. A comparison between the conventional and the new RMT by using the Entity-Relationship model is reported. The features of the new RMT enable a new manufacturing organization based on manufacturing capacity sharing that increases environmental sustainability.
