Metal cutting is one of the most widely used methods of producing the final shape of manufactured products. This textbook treats the scientific principles of metal cutting and their practical application to solving problems encountered in manufacturing. The subjects of mathematics, physics, computers, software, and instrumentation are discussed as integration tools in analyzing or designing machine tools and manufacturing processes. The text begins with the fundamentals of metal cutting mechanics. A special feature is the in-depth coverage of chatter vibrations, a problem experienced daily by practising manufacturing engineers. The essential topics of programming, design, and automation of CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools; NC (numerical control) programming; and CAD/CAM technology are fully discussed. Each chapter includes examples drawn from industry, design projects, and homework problems. Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practising engineers, this book offers a way to learn the engineering principles of metal cutting mechanics, CNC system design, and CAD/CAM technology. Table of Contents Mechanics of metal cutting; static and dynamic deformations in machining; technology of manufacturing automation; design and analysis of CNC systems; sensor assisted machining. Appendices: Laplace and Z transforms; off-line and on-line parameter estimation with least squares.
