"Work smarter, not harder" is advice that is easily relayed
to human workers, but it's considerably harder to get that message across to
machining equipment - at least until now. Thankfully new software programs are
being developed for the purpose of getting machine tools to work smarter by
accessing cutting efficiency.
The programs are the brainchild of Robert Jerard and Barry
Fussell, mechanical engineering professors from the University of New
Hampshire, and doctoral candidate Chris Suprock. Their research is being touted
as a way for the United States to regain their competitive edge in manufacturing,
as it would make machine tools more "productive, efficient and cost effective,
therefore decreasing the impact of labor cost differences."
