About the book

The book discusses the forms of production organization used, current issues of production automation and means of flexible manufacturing automation in the machinery industry. The structure, operation and programming of modern programmable and numerical control systems as well as diagnostics and supervision systems used in modern machine tools and their systems are presented. Basic automation components, technical solutions and examples of construction of machine tools and their systems as well as automation systems for workpieces are described. Much space has been devoted to the issue of computer-integrated production, and especially to the computer-integrated production of CiM and concurrent design.
The book is intended for students of mechanical faculties of technical colleges, as well as for mechanical engineers dealing in industry with the issues of automation and robotization of manufacturing processes.
