They produce all the objects that make easier our day to day

The definition of machine-tool includes a wide variety of machines with one thing in common: all of them are dedicated to manufacture products or parts of products (usually metal, but not exclusively). Machine tools are machines mother because they allow the manufacture of all other machines including themselves said.

Its main feature is working a variety of materials, especially metal, to produce a particular form. This can be applied both to the small balls of accuracy of the pens and the more complex components of aircraft or satellites. Machine tools are all the objects that make easier our day to day.

There are various solutions to obtain a specific shape from a piece of metal. The most common systems are:

• Sculpting a metal block by removing the excess material through processes such as drilling, milling, turning, electro-mechanical downloads, etc.
• Give shape to the piece by bending, stamping, etc.
• Cut a model on a metal plate using tools cutting, laser, Jet of water at high pressure, etc.

Machine tools work a variety of materials, especially metal, to produce a particular form.

Applications of machine tools are found in many different sectors: the automotive industry, aerospace industry, generation of energy, railway, etc.

There are many different types of machine tools: from simple lathes up to complex machining centers, from machines that manufacture pieces less than a fraction of a millimeter to machines that produce pieces of tens of meters. The variety of technologies, sizes and functions enables them to efficiently produce and bulk pieces precise in any form, designed by the corresponding departments of engineering. It is virtually impossible to find an object of our daily life that has not been produced with the aid of a machine tool. From aircraft to wristwatch we wrist via computer and mobile phone, almost all of the objects with which we encounter every day are possible thanks to the machine tool.

Machine tools are intelligent and high-precision that give the industry the ability to produce goods with high-quality, high speed and in large quantities, while minimizing the cost and environmental impact. They are the engine of technological progress to be indispensable for the automation of the production. They show the State of the art of technology and reflect the capabilities of our industries and economies. Machine tools are essential today, and will remain in the future, to begin industrialization in emerging countries. Applications of machine tools are found in many different sectors: the automotive industry, aerospace industry, generation of energy, railway, medical equipment, construction, optics, watches, jewelry, etc.
