Abstract

The development of machine tools integrating multiple production technologies is challenging. To minimize the effort for implementation, a systematic conceptual design for hybrid machine tools is initiated already in early phases of product development. Reference product architectures are addressed. The main emphasis is on technology and system integration. A technological similarity assessment forms the basis to assure potential for synergies. The reference architecture introduced is validated by a Multi-Technology-Platform combining a milling spindle and two laser processing units.

Keywords: design methodology, reference product architecture, modularization, product conceptualization, functional structuring
