Maximizing reader insights into the key scientific disciplines of
Machine Tool Metrology, this text will prove useful for the
industrial-practitioner and those interested in the operation of
machine tools. Within this current level of industrial-content,
this book incorporates significant usage of the existing published
literature and valid information obtained from a wide-spectrum of
manufacturers of plant, equipment and instrumentation before
putting forward novel ideas and methodologies. Providing easy to
understand bullet points and lucid descriptions of metrological and
calibration subjects, this book aids reader understanding of the
topics discussed whilst adding a voluminous-amount of footnotes
utilised throughout all of the chapters, which adds some additional
detail to the subject. Featuring an extensive amount of
photographic-support, this book will serve as a key reference text
for all those involved in the field.

It is a well acknowledged fact that virtually all of our
modern-day components and assemblies rely to some extent on
machining operations in their manufacturing process. Thus, there is
clearly a substantive machining requirement which will continue to
be of prime importance for the foreseeable future. Cutting Tool
Technology provides a comprehensive guide to the latest
developments in the use of cutting tool technology. The book covers
new machining and tooling topics such as high-speed and hard-part
machining, near-dry and dry-machining strategies, multi-functional
tooling, diamond-like and atomically-modified coatings, plus many
others. Also covered are subjects important from a research
perspective, such as micro-machining and artificial intelligence
coupled to neural network tool condition monitoring. A practical
handbook complete with troubleshooting tables for common problems,
Cutting Tool Technology is an invaluable reference for researchers,
manufacturers and users of cutting tools."
This is the second volume of three designed to give an insight into
the current state of CNC technology with a focus on practical
applications. Following a brief historical introduction to cutting
tool development, chapters 1 and 2 explain why CNC requires a
change in cutting tool technology from conventional methods. A
presentation is given of the working knowledge of cutting tools and
cutt ing fluids which is needed to make optimal use of the
productive capacity of CNC machines. Since an important
consideration for any machine tool is how one can locate and
restrain the workpiece in the correct orientation and with the
minimum of set-u p time, chapter 3 is concerned with workholding
technology. The author draws on his extensive experience as a
practitioner and teacher. The text is thoroughly practical in
character and generously illustrated with diagrams and photographs.
The first part of Volume I outlines the origins and development of
CNC machine tools. It explains the construction of the equipment
and also discusses the various elements necessary to ensure high
quality of production. The second part considers how a company
justifies the purchase of either cells or systems and illustrates
why simulation exercises are essential prior to a full
implementation. Communication protocols as well as networking
topologies are examined. Finally, the important high-speed
machining developments and the drive towards ultra-high precision
are mentioned. Following a brief historical introduction to cutting
tool development, chapters 1 and 2 of Volume II explain why CNC
requires a change in cutting tool technology from conventional
methods. A presentation is given of the working knowledge of
cutting tools and cutting fluids which is needed to make optimal
use of the productive capacity of CNC machines. Since an important
consideration for any machine tool is how one can locate and
restrain the workpiece in the correct orientation and with the
minimum of set-up time, chapter 3 is concerned with workholding
technology. Volume III deals with CNC programming. It has been
written in conjunction with a major European supplier of
controllers in order to give the reader a more consistent and
in-depth understanding of the logic used to program such machines.
It explains how why and where to program specific features of a
part and how to build them up into complete programs. Thus, the
reader will learn about the main aspects of the logical structure
and compilation of a program. Finally, there is a brief review of
so me of the typical controllers currently available from both
universal and proprietary builders.
