ABOUT US
Machine tools are called machines that create machines (mother machines), and Japan is in the top class in the field of machine tools.
The Precision Measurement and Machining Laboratory (Matsuhara Lab.) Conducts research on machining, measurement, control, and design of machine tools.
Machining and measurement
We are researching measurement control methods that achieve machining accuracy in submicrons, devising new measurements such as accuracy and vibration characteristics for 5-axis machine tools, and reducing thermal displacement or energy consumption of machine tools. .
Design
We propose and design new machine tools in cooperation with machine tool manufacturers.
In addition, we aim to establish new processing methods and design guidelines by conducting actual machine experiments.
Activity policy
Matsubara Lab is a laboratory that values self-study.
The research policy will be decided in consultation with the teacher, but most of the research will be at the student's discretion.
We are working on research with the goal of weekly meetings and conference presentations. The meeting is held once a week for about half a day.
Suitable for people like this ...
People who like manufacturing and design: They can make anything with machines and tools.
People who want to do something related to a mechanical system: There are few labs dealing with machines in the department of physical engineering.
Those who want to conduct world-class research: There is also a chance to present at an international conference every year.
