Research Planning Visit to Precision Manufacturing Centers in Asia

9423175豪斯磨削研究与开发中心(CGRD)是美国国家科学基金会的工业/大学合作研究中心，该中心寻求资金支持其主任参观亚洲的精密制造研究中心和公司。CGRD及其工业赞助商认识到，磨削技术的发展正在世界范围内进行，磨削精度标准是在全球而不是在国家范围内制定的。建议CGRD主任参观精密制造实验室和公司将实现几个目标。首先，也是最重要的是，这将使他能够更好地确定对CGRD及其工业赞助商具有战略优势的研究路线。此外，此次巡演预计将为亚洲中心与CGRD及其工业赞助商之间的研究合作提供机会。通过这次访问，主任将能够获得迄今为止在美国无法获得的磨削和精密制造方面的国际专业知识基金。最后，主任将探索CGRD与这些地点未来合作项目的可能性。这次巡视的结果将是MF对NSF和研磨中心的战略重要性。这位CGRD主任已经参观了德国和日本的精密制造研究设施，这次旅行将使他能够编写一份考虑到世界各地精密制造技术主要领域的分析报告。这样的文件可以帮助国家科学基金会做出与其制造倡议相关的政策决策。

9423175 Howes The Center for Grinding Research and Development (CGRD), an NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center, seeks funding to support its director on a tour of precision manufacturing research centers and companies in Asia. The CGRD and its industrial sponsors recognize that grinding technology development is taking place world wide and that standards of precision in grinding are set on a global rather than a national scale. The tour of precision manufacturing laboratories and companies proposed for the CGRD director will achieve several goals. First, and most significantly, it will allow him to better determine the research paths that would be strategically advantageous for the CGRD and its industrial sponsors to pursue. Additionally, the tour is expected to open opportunities for research collaboration between Asian centers and the CGRD and its industrial sponsors. Through this tour, the director will be able to access a fund of international expertise in grinding and precision manufacturing hitherto unavailable in the U.S. Finally, the director will explore the possibility of future collaborative projects between the CGRD and these sites. The report that results from this tour will be mf strategic importance to the NSF as well as the Grinding Center. The CGRD director has already visited precision manufacturing research facilities in Germany and Japan, and this tour will allow him to produce an analysis that takes into account the major areas of precision manufacturing technology throughout the world. Such a document could assist the NSF in making policy decision relevant to its manufacturing initiatives.
