Abstract
In recent years, diversification of consumer needs and ephemeralization of a product life cycle is progressing in Japanese industry. As a result, the production system has changed from high-mix low-volume production manufacturing to variant types in variable quantity. The cell production system is paid to attention as a production system to achieve variant types in variable quantity. There are a miniaturization and a process consolidating of the machine tool as needs of the cell production system. The processing to the small part was assumed, and a compact size, light small power diode laser of 50W was used as a heat source of this system. In this research, a multifunctional machine tool of a desktop size in which the cutting function and the heat-treatment function with the Koide power semiconductor laser were consolidated was made for trial purposes. The practicality to the cell production system and the superiority of this machine to the environment load were examined.
