Machine tools are the main production factor for many industrial applicationsin many important sectors. Recent developments in new motion devices and numerical control have lead to considerable technological improvements in machine tools. The use of five-axis machining centers has also spread, resulting in reductions in set-up and lead times. As a consequence, feed rates, cutting speedand chip section increased, whilst accuracy and precision have improved as well. Additionally, new cutting tools have been developed, combining tough substrates, optimal geometries and wear resistant coatings. “Machine Tools for HighPerformance Machining” describes in depth several aspects of machine structures, machine elements and control, and application. The basics, models and functions of each aspect are explained by experts from both academia and industry.Postgraduates, researchers and end users will all find this book an essentialreference. Describes in depth the various aspects of machine structure, machine elements and control, and their application INDICE: Machine Tools for Removal Processes: A General View.- New Conceptsfor Structural Components.- Machine Tool Spindles.- New Developments in Drives and Tables.- Advanced Controls for New Machining Processes.- Machine Tool Performance and Precision.- New Developments on Lathes and Turning Centers.- High Performance Grinding Machines.- Wire Electrical Discharge Machines.- Parallel Kinematics for Machine Tools.- Micromilling Machines.- Machines for the Aeronautical Industry.- Machine Tools for the Automotive Industry.
