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.

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.

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.

Decision making for machine tool selection is intractable work of managers due to the factors involving the vague and imprecise information. The degree of hesitation is considered in the experts judgment. In this paper, an integration of the intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) Entropy and TOPSIS method are utilized to solve the vague information for decision-making process in machine tool selection. In particular, the weights of criteria are calculated by the IF Entropy and the TOPSIS is employed to determine the priority of alternative. The results of the numerical example show this integration is practical and easy to use for engineers and managers in the companies.

In today's era, managerial decision making has become a very momentous component due to the leverage of attention on achieving organizational goal i.e. enhancing effective utilization of input assets, satisfying customers' demand and minimizing loss (maximize profit). The evaluation of the most appropriate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool has become one of the key factors for sustaining the organization/manufacturing sectors/production units at competitive global market place. Productivity, precision and accuracy etc. are the most important issues behind adaptation/exploration of CNC machine tools. So, in such a cases, subjective indices are considered beside the objective indices and complexity of the CNC machine tool evaluation decision problems is solved via subjective assessments (judgment) of expert panel, also called the decision-making group. In this reporting, TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) based Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach has fruitfully applied to emphasize the decision making scenario at the subjective information evaluation index (indices) platform. So, TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) analytical methodology conjunction with Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number (TFN) has been explored for assessing and benchmarking the most preferable CNC machine tool from a group of preferred options/alternatives. Finally, an empirical case study has been carried out check the feasibility, efficiency and validity of proposed methodology and the benchmarking of preferred alternative machine tool has been derived in accordance with descending value of the ‘collective index'. Higher value of ‘collective index' reflects higher degree of performance extent.
