While many books have been written about NC/CNC, most restrict their coverage to the fundamentals of part programming and the remedial mechanics of three-axis machinery. This book provides a much broader examination of the diverse applications of CNC. In addition to fully addressing the traditional topics, Dr. Kief explores the role of a wide variety of CNC controlled machines and processes commonly (and uncommonly) found in industry, including lasers, waterjet machining, stereolithography, and robotic applications. Throughout the book, all topics are illustrated with full color photos and drawings. Other non-traditional topics included are shop floor programming, path measuring systems, PLCs, LANs, and FMS. The diversity of the machines and applications represented and explained in the book makes it attractive to anyone working with CNC machines, from programmers to system designers. Thanks to the currency of the material, it contains information on new procedures and machines that is not available in any other book on the subject.
