Light Machine Tools for Productive Machining [PDF ebook] 

This book presents an integrated ‚machine and process‘ approach that is based on stability lobe diagrams for designing large-volume milling machines bearing in mind their productivity, reliability and accuracy as well as their eco-efficiency. In fact, eco-efficiency of machining processes is an issue of increasing concern among both machine tool builders and manufacturers. Thus, this book introduces a global modeling of the dynamics of milling machines and of milling processes with a goal of supporting engineers in the design of machine tools that result in optimal machining productivity at minimized environmental impacts and costs.
