Makina amatanthauza dzina lathunthu la makina ndi bungwe.Makina ndi chida kapena chipangizo chomwe chimapangitsa kuti ntchito ikhale yosavuta kapena yochepetsera ntchito.Zinthu monga timitengo, matsache, ndi ma tweezers onse amatha kutchedwa makina.Ndi makina osavuta.Makina ovuta amapangidwa ndi mitundu iwiri kapena kuposerapo ya makina osavuta.Makina ovuta kwambiriwa nthawi zambiri amatchedwa makina.Kuchokera pamawonekedwe ndi kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe kake, palibe kusiyana pakati pa mabungwe ndi makina, omwe amatchedwa makina.

Makina, opangidwa kuchokera ku Greek Mechine ndi Latin Machina, poyambirira amatanthauza "mapangidwe anzeru", monga lingaliro lalikulu la makina, amatha kutsatiridwa ku nthawi yakale yachiroma, makamaka kusiyanitsa ndi zida zamanja.Liwu lamakono lachi China loti "makina" ndi liwu lodziwika bwino la English Mechanism and Machine.Makhalidwe amakina ndi awa: makina ndi kuphatikiza kwa zinthu zopanga thupi.Pali kusuntha kotsimikizika pakati pa magawo a makinawo.Chifukwa chake, Makina amatha kusintha mphamvu zamakina kapena kumaliza ntchito zamakina, lomwe ndi lingaliro lofunikira kwambiri pamakina amakono.Lingaliro lamakono la makina achi China limachokera ku liwu loti "makina" mu Chijapani.Lingaliro la makina pamakina aku Japan akufotokozedwa motere (omwe amagwirizana ndi mikhalidwe itatu iyi, yotchedwa mechanical Machine).

Zigawo zoyambira zamakina (makamaka: mayendedwe, magiya, nkhungu, ma hydraulic, zida za pneumatic, zisindikizo, zomangira, ndi zina) ndizofunikira kwambiri pamakampani opanga zida, zomwe zimatsimikizira mwachindunji magwiridwe antchito, mulingo, mtundu ndi kudalirika kwa zida zazikulu ndi zopangira, ndipo ndiye chinsinsi chozindikiritsa kusintha kwamakampani opanga zida kuchokera ku zazikulu kupita ku zamphamvu.

Machining a ziwalo zamakina ndi njira yomwe kukula kwa mawonekedwe kapena magwiridwe antchito amasinthidwe ndi makina opanga makina.Malinga ndi kutentha kwa workpiece, imagawidwa muzitsulo zozizira komanso zotentha.Nthawi zambiri pa kutentha kwa chipinda, ndipo sizimayambitsa zigawo za mankhwala kapena kusintha kwa gawo lotchedwa ozizira processing.Nthawi zambiri pamwamba kapena pansi kutentha yachibadwa ya processing, zidzachititsa workpiece mankhwala kapena gawo kusintha amatchedwa otentha processing.Kuzizira makina akhoza kugawidwa mu kudula Machining ndi kuthamanga Machining malinga ndi kusiyana kwa njira processing.Ntchito zotentha nthawi zambiri zimaphatikizapo chithandizo cha kutentha, calcination, kuponyera ndi kuwotcherera.Kuonjezera apo, mankhwala otentha ndi ozizira nthawi zambiri amagwiritsidwa ntchito pamsonkhano.Mwachitsanzo, pamene ma bearings asonkhanitsidwa, mphete yamkati nthawi zambiri imayikidwa mu nitrogen yamadzi kuti iziziritse kuti ichepetse kukula kwake, mphete yakunja imatenthedwa bwino kuti ikulitse kukula kwake, ndiyeno imasonkhanitsidwa pamodzi.Mphete yakunja ya gudumu la sitimayi imatenthedwanso pa matrix, yomwe imatha kutsimikizira kulimba kwa kumangirira kwake ikazizira.

Motsogozedwa ndi msika waukulu komanso mothandizidwa ndi mfundo, China yakhala msika waukulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi wopangira makina ndi kupanga ndikugwiritsa ntchito makina opangira ma tunneling, ndipo makina akunyumba apanganso mpikisano wina pamsika wapadziko lonse lapansi.Komabe, pali mavuto ambiri m'makampani opanga makina apanyumba.Msika wogwirizana, wotseguka komanso wopikisana kwathunthu ndi chinthu chofunikira pakukula bwino komanso kokhazikika kwamakampani opanga makina.
