The first part of this third volume focuses on the design of mechatronic components, in particular the feed drives of machine tools used to generate highly dynamic drive movements. Engineering guides for the selection and design of important machine components, the control technology of feed drives, and the measuring systems required for position capture are presented. Another focus is on process and diagnostic equipment for manufacturing machines and systems. The second part describes control concepts including programming methods for various applications of modern production systems. Programmable logic controllers (PLC), numerical controllers (NC) and robot controllers (RC) are part of these presentations. In the context of automated manufacturing systems, the various levels of the automation pyramid and the importance of control systems are also outlined. Finally, the volume deals with the engineering of machines and plants. The German Machine Tools and Production Systems Compendium has been completely revised. The previous five-volume series has been condensed into three volumes in the new ninth edition with colored technical illustrations throughout. This first English edition is a translation of the German ninth edition.

Im ersten Teil dieses zweiten Bandes werden dem Anwender Hilfen bei der Auswahl und Auslegung wichtiger Maschinenkomponenten und Gestellbauteile sowie deren Konstruktion, Berechnung und Optimierung hinsichtlich ihres statischen, dynamischen und thermischen Verhaltens gegeben. Hierbei werden auch Maschinenaufstellung, hydraulische Systeme, Getriebe sowie Industriedesign und Richtlinien zur Maschinengestaltung behandelt. Der zweite Teil widmet sich der messtechnischen Untersuchung und Beurteilung der gesamten Werkzeugmaschine bzw. deren Komponenten hinsichtlich der im ersten Teil dieses Bandes behandelten Eigenschaften. Nach einem Überblick über die messtechnischen Grundlagen und Messgeräte wird die Vorgehensweise zu deren messtechnischer Erfassung beschrieben. Auf die Maschinenabnahme durch Prüfwerkstücke sowie die Wechselwirkung zwischen Maschine und Bearbeitungsprozess wird detailliert eingegangen. Das Kompendium „Werkzeugmaschinen Fertigungssysteme" wurde vollstän dig überarbeitet. Die bisher fünfbändige Reihe wird in der neuen 9. Auflage zu drei Bänden mit durchgängigen Farbabbildungen zusammengefasst. Die Autoren Prof. Christian Brecher, Jahrgang 1969, wurde im Januar 2004 zum Universitätsprofessor für das Fach Werkzeugmaschinen am Werkzeugmaschinenlabor WZL der RWTH Aachen und Mitglied des Direktoriums von WZL und IPT (Fraunhofer Institut für Produktionstechnologie) ernannt. Zu seinen Schwerpunkten gehören die Maschinen-, Getriebe- und Steuerungstechnik. Seit 2012 leitet Prof. Brecher darüber hinaus als Gründungsmitglied gemeinsam mit Prof. Hopmann das Aachener Zentrum für integrativen Leichtbau AZL der RWTH Aachen. Seit 2015 ist Prof. Brecher außerdem stellvertretender Institutsleiter des Fraunhofer Institutes für Produktionstechnologie IPT. Prof. em. Dr.-Ing. Dr.-Ing. E. h. Dr.-Ing. E.h. Manfred Weck, Jahrgang 1937, war von 1973 bis 2004 Inhaber des Lehrstuhls fü r Werkzeugmaschinen am Werkzeugmaschinenlabor WZL der RWTH Aachen und seit der Gründung 1980 bis 2004 Direktor und Leiter der Abteilung Produktionsmaschinen des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Produktionstechnologie (IPT), Aachen sowie Gründer der AiF-Forschungsgemeinschaft „Ultrapräzisionstechnik e.V“. Über die Jahre erhielt er zahlreiche Ehrungen und Auszeichnungen, zu denen auch die SME Frederick W.Taylor Research Medal im Jahr 2007 und die Aufnahme in die Hall of Fame des Manager Magazins 2015 gehören. Weiterhin ist Prof. Weck im Jahr 2017 designierter Träger des Aachener Ingenieurpreises, mit dem er für sein Lebenswerk geehrt wird.

The first part of the Machine Tools and Production Systems Compendium presents the wide range of machine tools and a comprehensive overview of different machine types. Based on the categorization of manufacturing processes according to the German standard DIN 8580, the different areas of application of machine tools are delineated and the various machine designs, the mechanical structure as well as the functions of the machine types are explained. Numerous three-dimensional illustrations of the principles, color photos, section drawings and schematic diagrams supplement the explanations and provide visual support. First, the machine types for the different manufacturing processes are described — before the multi-machine systems are explained. This is followed by a detailed presentation of the various equipment components of machine tools. In the last newly introduced chapter, the volume is concluded by a comprehensive and detailed explanation of three design examples of selected machine tools based on assembly drawings. The German Machine Tools and Production Systems Compendium has been completely revised. The previous five-volume series has been condensed into three volumes in the new ninth edition with colored technical illustrations throughout. This first English edition is a translation of the German ninth edition. Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Industrial production in high-wage countries like Germany is still at risk. Yet, there are many counter-examples in which producing companies dominate their competitors by not only compensating for their specific disadvantages in terms of factor costs (e.g. wages, energy, duties and taxes) but rather by minimising waste using synchronising integrativity as well as by obtaining superior adaptivity on alternating conditions. In order to respond to the issue of economic sustainability of industrial production in high-wage countries, the leading production engineering and material research scientists of RWTH Aachen University together with renowned companies have established the Cluster of Excellence Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries . This compendium comprises the cluster's scientific results as well as a selection of business and technology cases, in which these results have been successfully implemented into industrial practice in close cooperation with more than 30 companies of the industrial production sector.
