Abstract: Disclosed is a convergence machining apparatus based on turning in which a rotational axis of a work piece fixed by a headstock and a tailstock and a center of a width of a slide surface of a bed on which a reciprocal carriage installed with a tool is transferred while being supported are positioned at the same virtual plane, thereby preventing an offset error according to a relative displacement between the work piece and the tool during processing.

Abstract: Disclosed is an aerostatic air bearing. The disclosed aerostatic air bearing includes: an aerostatic nut, said aerostatic nut including a housing having an air inlet disposed therein, a helical plenum chamber disposed in said housing, said helical plenum chamber being fluidly connected to the air inlet and fluidly interconnecting a plurality of openings, said openings being disposed in a helical pattern, and a plurality of porous media, each of said porous media being disposed in one of the plurality of openings respectively; and a lead screw coupled to said aerostatic nut, said lead screw including a threaded surface separated from each of the plurality of porous media.

Abstract: Disclosed is a 3D reconfigurable machining system including a support frame spaced apart from the ground, a circular pivoting frame pivotably installed at the support frame, a slide member slidably installed on the circumferential portion of the pivoting frame, and a main spindle installed vertically at the slide member and being rotatable along the pivoting frame, so that a workpiece can be three-dimensionally machined with a considerably simple structure.
