This is the first volume of the fundamental work Machine Tool Design, which is to be published in four volumes. Volume I deals with the basic machine tools and special machine tools used in cutting tool production. The classification, type and size range, and designation of machine tools, employed in Soviet practice, are given in detail, together with the types of motion found in machine tools. Metal cutting lathes, turret lathes, vertical boring machines, automatic and semi-automatic lathes, milling machines, and many other types of machine tools are described. Special attention has been given to machine tools designed for the production of cutting tools. These include general- and single-purpose semi-automatic precision thread-grinding machines, automatic and semi-automatic tracer-controlled lathes with hydraulic controls, jig boring machines, and specialized machine tools, as well as automatic transfer machines for cutting tool production.
Part One was written by Nicholas Lisitsyn, Alexander Gavryushin, and Oleg Trifonov, Candidates of Engineering Sciences. Part Two by Prof. Alexander Knbryashov, Candidate of Engineering Sciences.
This fundamental four-volume work was written by scientists and specialists on the teaching staff of the Machine Tool Engineering Institute in Moscow. The editor, Prof. N. Acherekan, D.Sc. (Eng.), is an eminent Soviet specialist in machine tool design and the author of over fifty scientific works and textbooks in this field. Prof. Acherekan holds the title of Honoured Scientist of the Russian Federation and has occupied the chair of Machine Tool Design for 35 years.
Prof. Acherekan graduated from the Warsaw University in 1914, where he majored in mathematics. He received a gold medal for work done in the university. In 1920, he received a second degree from the mechanical engineering department of the Petrograd Polytechnic Institute.
The present work was translated from the considerably revised and recently published second edition, which includes all the latest achievements in world machine tool practice. The earlier edition has become an indispensable handbook for Soviet designers. Therefore, the publishers feel that this work should be of great value to engineers engaged in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of machine tool equipment. It can also be used to advantage by the students of engineering institutes majoring in Process Engineering, Metal-Cutting Machine Tools, or Cutting Tool Design.
