About this book
Precision Manufacturing provides an introduction to precision engineering for manufacturing. With an emphasis on design and performance of precision machinery for manufacturing machine tool elements and structure, sources of error, precision machining processes and process models sensors for process monitoring and control, metrology, actuators, precision process planning and machine design. This book will be of interest to design engineers, quality engineers and manufacturing engineers, academics and those who may or may not have previous experience with precision manufacturing, but want to learn more.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"A well-planned, timely addition to the … published literature on the manufacturing process. The book starts with a historical introduction to the process of manufacturing in general, and machining in particular, and ends with a chapter devoted to environmental issues involved with machining. … The references section, containing 560 published articles dealing with every aspect of precision machining, is particularly useful. This reviewer congratulates the authors on their excellent work. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Academic engineering collections; upper-division undergraduates through professionals involved with precision machining." (K. Srinagesh, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (9), 2008)
