No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1985–86 to 1994–95 (before that, 1976–77 to 1984–85 used the number for Mechanics of Machining Processes and Metal Cutting); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Design features of machine tools. Mechanics of metal cutting. Tool materials. Machinability. Main drive torque and power versus speed requirements. Characteristics of positional servomechanisms in NC machines. Adaptive control. Static and dynamic deformations of the structure of the machine tool and their effects on the accuracy of the workpiece. Chatter in machining.
As printed in the 1985–86 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
