Okuma Machine Tool Engineering Endowed Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An endowed lab that advances machine tools, the “mother machines” that make machines, in collaboration with companies.
AboutAbout the lab
Advancing machine tools, the mother of all machines.
The Okuma Machine Tool Engineering Endowed Lab studies how to advance machine tools, the “mother machines” that make machines such as aerospace vehicles.
The research is carried out jointly with engineers from companies.
The lab builds machine tools based on new machining principles, aiming to cut production costs and environmental impact through higher speed and efficiency, and to improve quality and performance through higher precision.
It shares its website and building with the Production Engineering Research Group (Shamoto Lab).
Key terms
- Machine tool
- A machine that makes machine parts by cutting materials such as metal or drilling holes in them
- Endowed lab
- A course established at a university for a fixed period with donations from companies and other donors
- Heat-resistant superalloy
- An alloy that keeps its strength even at high temperatures. It is hard to cut and difficult to machine
