A Research on Intelligent Modular Machine Tool Design System Based on KBE

As an effort to solve problems occurring in the current modular machine tool design, KBE technology is introduced into the field. The combination of modular machine tool design and KBE strengthens the inheritance and reuse of design knowledge, achieves an intelligent design for general machine tools and provides a reliable technical support for modular machine tool design. The components of the system and the key technologies of implementation are elaborated in the paper.
