Theory and Practice in Machining Systems

by Yoshimi Ito, Takashi Matsumura

Overview

This book describes machining technology from a wider perspective by considering it within the machining space. Machining technology is one of the metal removal activities that occur at the machining point within the machining space. The machining space consists of structural configuration entities, e.g., the main spindle, the turret head and attachments such the chuck and mandrel, and also the form-generating movement of the machine tool itself.

The book describes fundamental topics, including the form-generating movement of the machine tool and the important roles of the attachments, before moving on to consider the supply of raw materials into the machining space, and the discharge of swarf from it, and then machining technology itself.

Building on the latest research findings “Theory and Practice in Machining System” discusses current challenges in machining. Thus, with the inclusion of introductory and advanced topics, the book can be used as a gui

de and survey of machining technology for students and also as the basis for the planning of future research by professors and researchers in universities and scientific institutions. Professional engineers can use the book as a signpost to technical developments that will be applied in industry in coming years.

About the Author

Yoshimi Ito ( Dr.-Eng., C Eng., FIET ) is professor emeritus at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, past president of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers and past vice president of the Engineering Academy of Japan. He has published numerous research and review papers, and also books ranging from structural design of machine tools, through production systems, to manufacturing culture. He gets currently involved within the establishment of educational and research programme of the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacture in Jabalpur, by the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.

Takashi Matsumura, Ph.D, is a professor serving in Tokyo Denki University, the Chairman of Manufacturing and Machine Tool Division in Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers and a board member in The Japan Society for Die and Mould Technology. He was also the chairman of Manufacturing Process Division in Society of Automotive Engineers

of Japan, a board member of Japan Society for Precision Engineering and Japan Society for Abrasive Technology. He was a Visiting Scholar in Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1997 to 2006; and a Visiting Scientist supported by Ikerbasque, Basque Foundation for Science in 2011. He has published many papers on the manufacturing processes and the manufacturing systems. He is currently working on the machining process simulation for aircrafts parts supported by the national research foundation and the related industries.
