The Design of Reconfigurable Machine Tools about Lathe and Milling Machine Based on Modularization

Based on the concept of modularity and reconfiguration, this paper adopts the function— principle—structure modeling approach, shedding light on dividing and reconstructing the modules based on the product function and finally put forward molding scheme. The author also verifies the feasibility of this kind of modeling method with the reconfigurable machine tools in turning and milling as case study.
