Abstract

Machine tool performance, production accuracy and energy efficiency are interdependent design criteria. To solve this design conflict, bionics - this means technical interpretation of long-term optimized biological principles - could be an effective way to accelerate innovation loops in modern machine tool development processes. In the paper, these aspects will be discussed, and selected solutions will be presented in detail.
