Research results and future orientations for the development of a pre-estimation system for the measure of the quantitative determination of milled granite surfaces

On the manufacturing of different CNC machine-tools, the tables of ultraprecision machine-tools and CNC coordinate measuring machines are made of granite. Despite of the continuous industrial investigations, an accurate estimation system has not been developed so far. Although, an estimation program is necessary to predict the rate of the average edge chipping of different granite types. In this article, a summary of a research work is given connecting to this topic. Furthermore, the trendency of our future research is defined. (paper)
