Book News Annotation:
Focuses on the practical implementation of high performance machining principles
in a manufacturing environment. Reviews current practices, then examines areas
such as machine construction and geometry, motion control and drive trains,
spindle technology, thermal growth and control, part processing, and real-time
performance monitoring--in the context of 3-axis vertical machining centers,
with some discussion of 4- and 5-axis machining. The information presented
applies to a wide array of processes beyond milling, including turning and
grinding, and is useful for operations ranging from production lines to
garage-based machine shops. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
