In this paper the model of special metal cutting NC machine Tool is presented, which
consists of a base module, an overall control module, particular functional modules as well as a
relation module. Each module involved in aforementioned model will be composed by software,
hardware and mechanical parts, so as to combine the convergence of the ideas of modularization
and mechanical-electrical integration into current understanding of special NC machine tool
through the proposed model. Specially, the relation module is introduced to deal with the linking
among all the other modules. The presented model aims to broaden the perspective of machine
designers intending to increase the efficiency in machine design. By giving the so-called function
unit model a novel modeling approach is delivered to carry out control research of special metal
cutting NC machine, which is followed by the formalization description method presented as a
possible abstraction methodology towards the efficient description and identification of special
metal cutting NC machine tool.
