The field of High Precision Machining Research is concerned with the research and development of tools and technologies, with a particular focus on cutting. The objective is to achieve high dimensional shape and positional accuracy requirements, while simultaneously maintaining high quality and functionality of the machined surface, or surface integrity. Research and development is concentrated on the cutting tool, its geometry and microgeometry, the cutting material, and the coating. A further area of importance is the appropriate choice of cutting conditions, workholding and, in particular, the type and parameters of the machine tool. The outputs in the form of prototype tools and technology ensure efficient production of high-precision and quality workpieces.
