This lecture builds-up on the lecture "Production Machines I" and covers the fundamentals of precision engineering and specific applications of AI in manufacturing. In addition to AI-based approaches, machine requirements are explained, including an introduction to the areas of metrology and precision engineering.

The lecture covers machine tools in production. It focuses on cutting and forming machine tools, their design and configuration, key functional components, and current aspects of digitalization and sustainability.

Exemplary discussion on modern manufacturing methods to add and delete material as well as modern measuring methods. Introduction to general environmental problems of production up to the product disposal.

The course "Metrology of workpieces" deals with definition and measurement of errors in size, location, form and roughness of workpieces, with typical measuring instruments and their measurement uncertainties, including coordinate measuring machines and vision systems, QS according to ISO 9001, statistical process control, as well as with the thermal influences on geometrical measurements.

Control, closed loop control, processing of geometrical data, main drives, noise, flexibility, rationalization and automation, modern machine concepts, thermal and dynamic behavior
