Preview High-speed machining
ABOUT THE BOOK Across the globe, the growing demands of customers are transforming the way products are manufactured. High-speed Machining explains how this hhiigghh--ssppeeeedd technology can be used for the advantage of all industrial manufacturing. It explains how it is possible to economically produce exceptional quality products with high productivity. The book describes the parameters of new h advanced machining processes and challenges the traditional ways of fin- i g ishing complex workpieces. Described are the many facets of what high per- formance machining really means and how it can be pursued with ease and h exceptional success. The book discusses proven productivity improvements, - including advanced cutting tools, simplifying machining operations, and s cost savings through practical applications. It also addresses the current p and future states of advanced machining processes, such as dry, near-dry, e and one-pass machining. e ABOUT THE AUTHOR d Dr. Bert P.

Through our member programs, publications, exposi- tions and professional development resources, SME promotes an increased awareness of manufacturing engineering and helps keep manufacturing professionals up to date on leading trends and tech- nologies. Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, SME influences more than half a million manufacturing engineers, executives, and prac- titioners annually. The Society has members in 70 countries and is supported by a network of hundreds of chapters worldwide. ABOUT MTA/SME The Machining Technology Association of SME (MTA/SME) provides a forum for exploring the practical application of inno- vations in material-removal processes, such as turning, milling, and grinding, and the machines and tooling used in these pro- cesses. MTA/SME members represent a cross-section of disciplines, including manufacturing, tool, process, mechanical, and indus- trial engineers, production and plant managers, and researchers and educators. They are interested in the latest developments in CNC machine tools, cutting-tool materials, tool geometry, workholding devices, and cutting fluids. Typical industries served include automotive, aerospace, defense, appliance, and other gen- eral metalworking manufacturing sectors. prepages.pmd 5 4/14/03, 12:09 PM prepages.pmd 6 4/14/03, 12:09 PM To My Beloved Children Christoph, Gillian, and Wolfgang prepages.pmd 7 4/14/03, 12:09 PM prepages.pmd 8 4/14/03, 12:09 PM Acknowledgments This book would not have been possible without the extraordi- nary support of my staff and team who have supported me over the years on our exceptional path of success.
