Abstract
Machine tool have traditionally been developed for the manufacture of new parts and to be operated in workshop environments. With a remit of addressing clearly defined tasks, the concepts/configurations of these are nowadays, somehow, standard. This perspective intends to flag up to the community the relatively unexplored topic of portable Robotised Machine (RoboMach) tools that address the need for in-situ maintenance and repair of industrial installations. By the immense variety of tasks that RoboMach are designed to fulfil, there is an open ground for exploring, at the confluence with other complementary research disciplines, novel machine tool configurations that could open fresh academic challenges.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture is dedicated to advancing scientific comprehension of the fundamental mechanics involved in processes and machines utilized in the manufacturing of engineering components. While the primary focus is on metals, the journal also explores applications in composites, ceramics, and other structural or functional materials. The coverage includes a diverse range of topics:
- Essential mechanics of processes involving material removal, accretion, and deformation, encompassing solid, semi-solid, or particulate forms.
- Significant scientific advancements in existing or new processes and machines.
- In-depth characterization of workpiece materials (structure/surfaces) through advanced techniques (e.g., SEM, EDS, TEM, EBSD, AES, Raman spectroscopy) to unveil new phenomenological aspects governing manufacturing processes.
- Tool design, utilization, and comprehensive studies of failure mechanisms.
- Innovative concepts of machine tools, fixtures, and tool holders supported by modeling and demonstrations relevant to manufacturing processes within the journal's scope.
- Novel scientific contributions exploring interactions between the machine tool, control system, software design, and processes.
- Studies elucidating specific mechanisms governing niche processes (e.g., ultra-high precision, nano/atomic level manufacturing with either mechanical or non-mechanical "tools").
- Innovative approaches, underpinned by thorough scientific analysis, addressing emerging or breakthrough processes (e.g., bio-inspired manufacturing) and/or applications (e.g., ultra-high precision optics).
