6   Modular Design Guide and Machine Tools Description

                 Figure 1-4 shows an advanced variant of MC (machining center) of
               Ikegai make (type MX3) in the beginning of the 1980s, which is a
               column traveling type. As can be seen, the modular design is preferably
               employed to produce 10 variants, ranging from the FMC (flexible
               manufacturing cell) of pallet pool type, through the station of FTL
