Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advent of electronics in the 1960s, the first computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools emerged, allowing the machining process to be automated, improving precision and production speed. Since then, they have become a key technology in modern manufacturing, being widely used in sectors such as aeronautics, automotive, electronics, etc.
Currently, there is a growing demand to increase productivity and reduce costs by improving the efficiency and quality of their production processes.
In this context, there have been rapid and continuous improvements in technology, allowing new approaches on control, accuracy, surface integrity, and process flexibility to be developed.
The latest trends in CNC machine tools focus on improving process control, comprising techniques for process monitoring through the on-line sensing of operations, allowing for real-time process adjustments. The aim is to ensure quality and repeatability in part production, as well as to increase flexibility and process control, in order to be able to adapt to the changing demands of the market. In addition, special attention is also being paid to the surface integrity of parts to ensure the functionality and durability of parts.
This Special Issue aims to collate innovative contributions on this topic, both from the point of view of new trends in CNC machine tools, as well as improvements in process control, new machining strategies, intelligent control, flexibility, precision, and surface integrity.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
