Dynamic Accuracy Design Method of Ultra-precision Machine Tool

Ultra‐precision machine tool is the most important physical tool to machining the workpiece with the frequency domain error requirement, in the design process of which the dynamic accuracy design (DAD) is indispensable and the related research is rarely available. In light of above reasons, a DAD method of ultra‐precision machine tool is proposed in this paper, which is based on the frequency d...

Changes in the European Large Scale Engineering Construction Industry

In recent years the Large Scale Engineering (LSE) construction sector in Europe has seen profound change. This is mainly due to increasing competitive pressures from the United States and the Asian Pacific countries which has led in turn to increased pressures to improve competitiveness, productivity and client satisfaction. Lack of understanding of clients’ and contractors’ requirements hinder...

A Sales Support System forAgents of the Machine Tool Industry

Industrial countries regard the machine tool industry as strategic industry, and ensure its crucial role among industries by tremendous government supports. Nevertheless, due to the special characteristics of industrial products, such as marketing through regional agencies, less transaction number with higher amounts, longer purchase cycle, and various product models, the application of data mi...
