Mechanical manufacturing and its automation is a research discipline that studies the theory, manufacturing technology, automated manufacturing systems, and advanced manufacturing modes of mechanical manufacturing. This discipline integrates the development of various related disciplines, presenting a completely new perspective on manufacturing technology, manufacturing systems, and manufacturing models. The goal of mechanical manufacturing and its automation is very clear, which is to combine mechanical equipment with automation through computer means, forming a series of advanced manufacturing technologies, including CAD (computer-aided design), CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), FMS (flexible manufacturing system), etc., and ultimately forming a large-scale computer integrated manufacturing system (CIMS), making traditional mechanical processing a qualitative leap. The specific applications in industry include CNC machine tools, machining, and so on.
