(...) nous croyons utile de rappeler la définition que nous avons retenue pour les centres d'usinage. Il s'agit d'une machine-outil à CN polyvalente munie d'un changement automatique d'outils et éventuellement d'un changeur automatique de pièces; elle est capable d'effectuer plusieurs opérations d'usinage (perçage, alésage, fraisage, etc.) sur plusieurs faces d'une même pièce et dans un même montage.
