Nowadays, the micro-factory concept of downsizing production systems is essential to manufac
turing small products in sustainable growth. Concerning this, this paper presents the develop
ments accomplished during the recent years at Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico) introducing
new findings related to the design of reconfigurable micro-machine tools for micro-factories.
It shows the framework related to the conceptualization of micro-factories for manufacturing
system layouts based-on reconfigurable micro-machine tools, identifying the basic steps. The
methodology for designing reconfigurable micro-machine tools is exposed, and a reconfigurable
rst-generation CNC micro- machine tool for micro-factories, is designed and tested, using the
Universal Numerical Control concept.
