Definition and objectives of machine tools


Machine tools are devices for cutting materials
(mostly metals), to impart them the required
shape.
Machine tool is a mechanism for applying force
and motion to a cutting instrument called a tool
Objectives of machine tools are:
i. To produce surface
ii. To trace formed curves
iii. To provide a finish to a given surface

Qualifications of machine tool for further definition


machine tool does not always apply force and motion
to the tool, but sometimes applies them to the material
to be cut,
machine tool usually does not including such power tools as
cutoff saws, shears, punch presses, routers, and the like
Because , they do not machine metals by cutting chips

true machine tools also provide:


means for accurately controlling the tool to take as deep or
as shallow a cut
means for applying this action consecutively in the
direction needed to obtain the desired finished shape.
means for interrupting this action whenever necessary,

The Design of Machine Tools


the machine tools aspect was very bound by:

their structure and


function,
artistically and
intellectual conceptions of the epoch.

The machine tools design is the result of the shape modeling in the report
with functional role.
In the machine design,

the shape like an essential characteristic


Aesthetic aspect
Functional requirements
Ergonomics

are created for to


respond to an aim in
the using of the user

machine tools design must respect the basic principles of the


design:
the proportion, the rhythm, the symmetry and the contrast

Design by evolution and innovation


An evolutionary process is one that occurs
without a conscious effort to direct it.
the process of evolution is one to be accepted
rather than controlled and could therefore be
considered as a passive process
Biologically, changes in behavior or survival
techniques of one generation in their adaptation
to the world about them are passed through to
some extent to the succeeding generation.

Design by evolution and innovation


If one were to plot a curve of change vs. time for, say,
a biological evolution of a species, the curve would
probably take the general shape of the curve of the
following figure
Evolutionary curve

Design by evolution and innovation cont


To start a new curve requires, as in biology, a
quantum change.
This quantum change then becomes the origin
of a new curve, and in engineering technology,
this quantum change is simply "innovation."
The vast majority of engineering designs are
evolutionary in that they evolve from the
designs and concepts of preceding
generations

inevitable
obsolescence caused
by lack of
innovation.
As an industry matures,
both design engineers
and the business settle
into a more comfortable
pace.

a "new" field of technology

Dgmawi Hailu, MEng, ASTU

Thus, in the
field of design
engineering,
innovation is
the key to
success and
should be the
primary
objective in
every design
undertaken.

Innovative design
Innovative design. on the other hand:
looks at the basic goal to be accomplished,
then considers how this goal might be best
accomplished
through implementation of the laws of physics and thencurrent knowledge of prior successes and failures.

It is only after a solution or solutions to this


accomplishment have been developed that the
present methods and available materials are
considered.
