With design of products changing frequently, and functional requirements becoming more demanding, batch production of high precision components has become a necessity. The advent of NC and CNC has enabled automation of batch manufacturing supported by computerisation of manufacturing systems. The book is a complete reference consisting of several technologies associated with modern automated manufacturing.
It includes: Hardware and software descriptions of Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Details of modules of Computerised Numerical Control (CNC), which are used in machine tools Robot axes and configurations Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) technology and building blocks Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMS)
With its wide coverage of current technologies, the book will be of high value to students of mechanical engineering, industrial and manufacturing engineers.
