Machine tool task force
The Machine Tool Task Force (MTTF) is a multidisciplined team of international experts, whose mission was to investigate the state of the art of machine tool technology, to identify promising future directions of that technology for both the US government and private industry, and to disseminate the findings of its research in a conference and through the publication of a final report. MTTF was a two and one-half year effort that involved the participation of 122 experts in the specialized technologies of machine tools and in the management of machine tool operations. The scope of the MTTF was limited to cutting-type or material-removal-type machine tools, because they represent the major share and value of all machine tools now installed or being built. The activities of the MTTF and the technical, commercial and economic signifiance of recommended activities for improving machine tool technology are discussed. (LCL)
