Aims: Sustainability modeling to study possibility of proposing several remanufacturing alternatives of conventional lathe into CNC machine tool.   Study Design: Conventional machine tool into CNC machine remanufacturing-upgrading experience is mixed with literature based analysis to weight the criteria and the alternatives of assessment. Global weights are found to rank the alternatives. Suitable literature can be projected comparatively to construct sustainability model. Sustainability assessment models in field of lathe remanufacturing-upgrading are reviewed and modified to accommodate new changes that accompany the current case study. Place and Duration of Study: Middle Technical University, Institute of Technology-Baghdad, Mechanical Techniques Department, between 2019 and 2020. Methodology: 1- Literature survey to find out the most used sustainability assessment criteria. 2-Economic, environmental and social criteria specifying. 3-Normilizing weights of criteria. 4- Matching local weights of assessment criteria with fuzzy triangular numbers to find out the whole weights. 5-Senairo based analysis application to find out alternatives of remanufacturing. 6-Weighting alternatives, criteria and sub-criteria. 7- Find global weights and rank the alternatives. Decision making for selection of remanufactured alternatives and remanufacturing alternatives can include :(1) Spindle , gearbox and dovetail guide ways reuse scenario. (2) Spindle remanufacturing scenario. (3) Gearbox remanufacturing scenario. (4) Dovetail guide ways remanufacturing scenario.(5) Spindle and gearbox remanufacturing scenario. (6) Spindle and dovetail guide ways remanufacturing scenario. (7) Spindle, gearbox and dovetail guide ways remanufacturing scenario. Alternatives in field of machine tools remanufacturing are reviewed. Experience in field of machine tool remanufacturing is exploited to remodeling the existence models to optimize a remanufactured lathe into CNC machine case study. Results: Emerging technology aided Conventional-CNC lathe remanufacturing-upgrading alternative exhibits good behavior of criteria toward optimization. While advanced technology aided Conventional-CNC lathe remanufacturing exhibits behavior to be of interesting developing potentials. Conventional-Conventional lathe remanufacturing is of lower potentials to be developed into optimum solution. Conclusion: Remanufacturing-upgrading of conventional lathe into CNC machine in its mechanical part, it is merely traditional remanufacturing process of conventional lathe where gearbox can be eliminated due to use of motorized axis. Feed rod and lead screws, in both forward and transvers directions, can be replaced with motorized ball screws. Also tool post can be replaced with automatic tool changer while saddle can be reused. The most promising technological key is the use of mate/insert/screw to assembly ball guide ways to disable dovetail guide ways and highlight structural specifications of CNC lathe. Thus precision, accuracy, repeatability and reliability will be enhanced considerably. Comparative literature based analysis and experience based analysis with uncertainty reduction can substitute the leak of relevant data acquisition for remanufacturing-upgrading modeling. Which enables simplify certain difficulties and the calculations of some criteria and adopts simplified methods so that theoretic and practical gap can be directed towards certain actual conditions to reach the optimum solution.

Aims: Uncertainty modeling to study possibility of proposing several remanufacturing alternatives of conventional lathe into CNC machine tool. Study Design: Conventional lathe into CNC machine remanufacturing-upgrading experience is used to project the suitable literature comparatively to construct uncertainty modeling. Faults modes of conventional lathe are studied to propose different remanufacturing solution based on faults literature viewpoints in field of lathe remanufacturing-upgrading, which are reviewed and modified to accommodate new changes that can accompany the current case study. Place and Duration of Study: Middle Technical University, Institute of Technology-Baghdad, Mechanical Techniques Department, between January 2020 and July 2020. Methodology: Decision making for selection of remanufactured alternatives and remanufacturing portfolio alternatives in field of lathe remanufacturing are reviewed. Experience in field of lathe remanufacturing is exploited to remodeling of existence models to optimize a remanufactured lathe into CNC machine as a case study. Methodology can be concluded into:- Literature survey to find two paths of: Faults and their statutes study. Remanufacturing portfolio study. Literature re-presentation and modeling. Literature results graphical modeling. Mathematical modeling of remanufacturability. Restoration alternative modeling Modeling of uncertainty. Results: Emerged technology aided conventional lathe into CNC lathe remanufacturing alternative exhibits good behavior of criteria toward optimization. While Advanced technology aided conventional lathe into CNC lathe remanufacturing alternative exhibits behavior to be of interesting ability to be a reservoir of developing potentials. Conventional technology aided conventional lathe remanufacturing alternative is of lower potentials to be developed into optimum solution. Conclusion: Remanufacturing-upgrading of conventional lathe into CNC machine in its mechanical part, it is merely traditional remanufacturing process of conventional lathe. Developing potentials can include that gearbox can be eliminated due to use of motorized axis, feed rod and lead screws, in both forward and transvers directions, can be replaced with motorized ball screws. Also tool post can be replaced with automatic tool changer while dovetail guide ways and saddles can be reused. Comparative literature based analysis and experience based analysis for uncertainty reduction can substitute the leak of relevant data acquisition for decision-making in field of remanufacturing. Uncertainty reduction modeling can enable simplify certain difficulties, the calculation of some criteria and adopting of simplified analysis methods so that theoretic and practical gap can be directed towards certain actual conditions to reach the optimum solution.

In order to investigate that shields have the effect on the thermal equilibrium of CNC machine tool, this paper applies the theory of heat transfer and finite element analysis to analyze the thermal characteristics of CNC lathe CK40A/1000. By ANSYS software, the temperature distributions of spindle engine, headstock and bearing at thermal equilibrium with/without shields are obtained. By analyzing thermal equilibrium patterns and experiments, the temperature of spindle bearings with shields are 3-4 higher than without shields at thermal equilibrium. And shields have less influence on the temperature gradient of tool inner thermal sources.

In order to improve the knowledge representation in the field of CNC machine tool fault diagnosis, a method of knowledge representation based on ontology was proposed. Firstly, the fault diagnosis process in this field were described and analyzed. Secondly, the definitions of ontology such as classes, attributes, relations, and functions were provided, in order to describe the process of knowledge representation based on ontology. At last, the model with OWL of fault diagnosis of CNC lathe was constructed with the protégé. It shows that the method proposed in this article to can improve the description of the CNC machine tool fault diagnosis.
