Dematerialised Manufacturing Systems: A new way to design, build, use and sell European Machine Tools.
European machine builders are currently producing and selling high-performance machines but, that at the same time involve a great amount of material resources and high energy consumption.
To face this non-sustainable situation, this project will tackle a twofold approach: a) To integrate mechanics, control and machining dynamics for reducing the material amount of manufacturing systems while assuring productivity, accuracy and reliability. b) To integrate the resulting lightweight manufacturing systems with value-adding features such as machine reconfiguration options, information sharing capabilities, lifecycle services and new business models. These dematerialised systems will provide thus a maximum of added value with a minimum of used energy and material resources.
