Since the first edition published more than 100 years ago, Machinery’s Handbook has been the most popular engineering resource of all time. Universally considered the principal reference in the manufacturing and mechanical industries, the Handbook is the ultimate collection of essential information needed by engineers, designers, drafters, metalworkers, toolmakers, machinists, educators, students, and serious home hobbyists. From engineering and design departments, machine and metalworking shops, and a wide range of manufacturing and industrial facilities, to countless classrooms and workshops worldwide, this is the must-have technical reference.

New in the 31st Edition

• Additive Manufacturing: Expert discussions, exploring 3D printing materials, techniques, and workflow, compare traditional machining to today’s additive manufacturing processes.
• Machine Elements and Operations: Updated and expanded coverage of CAD/CAM operations, boring, nontraditional cutting methods, O-rings and glands, and transmission chains.
• Manufacturing and Materials: Additional information on utilizing today’s plastics, powder metallurgy standard and tool steels, manufacturing stresses, and preventing corrosion.
• Metal Casting and Molding: New information for working with iron, steel, nonferrous metals, and alloys, metal casting and molding processes, and modeling and design considerations.
• Math, Measurement, and Dimensioning: Reorganized, revised, and expanded sections provide ready access to clear information, essential formulas, and everyday calculations and conversions.
• Metalworking Processes: More on brazing, soldering, welding, nondestructive testing, forming sheet metal, mill finishes, passivation, electropolishing, and plating.
• Threads and Threading: The latest series and selected combinations for Unified Screw Threads.

Plus…

• All ASME and ANSI standards have been reconfirmed and revised, including the game-changing ASME Y14.5-2018 standard.

• Thousands of revisions, including new and updated text, tables, equations, and figures.

• The metric content continues to be expanded. Throughout the book, wherever practical, metric units are shown adjacent to the U.S. customary units in the text. Many formulas are now presented with equivalent metric expres­sions, and metric examples have been added.

• The detailed tables of contents located at the beginning of each section have been expanded and fine-tuned to make finding topics easier and faster.

• The page count has increased, by nearly 100 pages, to 2,996 pages.

Digital manufacturing is everywhere. Technology advances in production engineering have reduced the “artisan skill” traditionally required in manufacturing processes and replaced it with high-precision, computer-controlled machinery. This reduces human errors and variability in output, but it does not reduce the knowledge required of the professional engineer or shop floor worker. In fact, the reverse is true. They still need to understand the fundamentals, and must acquire other important skills.

Anyone who works in machining or additive manufacturing technology must have a solid technical knowledge of CNC technology. It is important to know how the individual components work and how they affect the overall system, the quality of the products produced and the profitability of production. Professionals should be familiar with today’s machine tools and the numerous functions of CNC, electrical servo drives, tool systems, NC programming through to digital information processing and automation.

The CNC Handbook was a critically acclaimed bestseller in Germany for 30 editions, and is now available in English for the first time. This groundbreaking work introduces readers to the CNC world, and teaches practical details about how different components are applied in practice. Next, the authors explain the functions and connections of all integrated components, and clearly describe CNC and drives, tooling, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), NC-programming, DNC, digital manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). The book then covers industrial robots, additive manufacturing, energy-efficient manufacturing, simulation systems, and state-of-the-art of machine integrated measuring systems. This authoritative, heavily illustrated book is the perfect resource for the avid CNCer, but also for those who plan and program, set up, operate machinery, or are responsible for operation, maintenance and repair.

Features

• Packed with more than 800 figures, 4-color pictures, and product shots.
• Authors use their more than 150 combined years of industrial and academic experience to impart CNC knowledge.

Preventing Turbomachinery “Cholesterol” was written to address the misconceptions related to varnish, help readers understand its composition and evolution, dispel some of the myths surrounding varnish and deposits, detect its presence, discover the impact of varnish as it relates to flow restriction, and shed some light on the effect on efficiency, heat transfer, and lubricant properties.

It provides tangible and actionable steps to alleviate varnish obstacles, particularly on bearing operations. There is also one chapter solely devoted to achieving sustainable lubrication, as this is the future of the industry.

Features

• Discusses the processes of oxidation, thermolysis, contamination, microdieseling, electrostatic discharge, hot spots, additive drop out, hydrolysis, and other varnish mechanisms.
• Focuses on proactive methods that can be used to minimize oil breakdown, including managing temperature, the benefits of water removal, and ways to manage antioxidant depletion.
• Covers technologies that can help prevent deposits, such as the implementation of depth media filtration, centrifugal separation, electrostatic precipitation and agglomeration, solubility enhancers and chemical flushes.
• Includes two sample tests for the ICML’s VPR and VIM certifications, along with answers and explanations.
