Secretary: Prof. Hans-Christian Möhring
STC M deals with machine systems including machine tools, robots, measuring machines and handling equipment, for optimised technical and economic performance including:
- Research, design, development, manufacture and optimised application of production machine systems
- Characterization of machine system performance such as quasi-static and dynamic behaviour, accuracy, ergonomics, efficiency, cost of ownership and suitability for use in FMS and CIM systems
- Design for optimised performance of sub-systems and components such as structures, guideways, spindles, servo actuators, displacement transducers, sensors, servo control theory and systems (state space), CNC systems, adaptive control, expert systems and artificial intelligence applied to advanced machine systems
- Application of new materials, design for higher machine accuracy capabilities including 2D/3D error compensation, thermal drift reduction and control, tool setting and tool wear compensation etc.
- Modelling, simulation, modal analysis, testing and metrological calibration of machine systems
- Terminology, symbols and standards for production machine systems.
