Machine Tool Design Vol 2 by N. Acherkan ( Ed.); A. Fedotyonok; V. Yermakov

Volume 2 of the fundamental work Machine Tool Design contains Parts Three and Four. The complete work is to be published in four volumes. Part Three deals with the kinematics of machine tools. This branch of machine tool design has been strictly systematized by the author and is set forth with exceptional clarity. The kinematic structures of many different types of machine tools, including the most complex gear-cutting machines, are analysed by methods developed in the text, which take into consideration the interrelations between the workpiece to be produced in the given machine tool, the cutting tool to be used, the selected processing method, and the kinematic structure of the machine tool.

Part Three was written by Professor A. Fedotyonok, D. Sc. (Eng.), whose investigations in this field are well known to all Soviet machine tool designers. Part Four takes up hydraulic drives of machine tools. It contains all the theoretical and practical data required in the application of fluid power and control systems to machine tools. Part Four was written by Associate Professor V. Yermakov, Candidate of Eng. Sc., who lectures on the subject at the Machine Tool Engineering Institute in Moscow.

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.
