Abstract

Machine tools play a pivotal role in the manufacturing world. In the era of Industry 4.0, machine tools are expected to have a higher level of accessibility, connectivity, intelligence, adaptivity, and autonomy. With the rapid development of various smart manufacturing technologies, digitalisation and servitisation of machine tools have become a new research trend. This presentation will firstly introduce the current status of this research trend based on results from a systematic literature review of research on machine tools in the last decade. Then a novel conceptual framework of Cyber-Physical Machine Tool (CPMT) will be presented as a promising solution for the next-generation machine tools in Industry 4.0. Finally, practical prototype developments and applications of CPMT developed by the presenter will be demonstrated. This presentation is expected to help researchers and industrial practitioners spark new ideas for developing the next-generation machine tools in the era of Industry 4.0.
