Riassunto

Originally written by Nobuo Suga, Director of the Mitutoyo America Institute of Metrology, the book has been edited specifically for the UK market by Peter Rollings, Technical Copywriter for Mitutoyo (UK) Ltd, and is set to be a success following an abundance of pre-publication orders already received. The in-house Marketing department at Mitutoyo produced the 260 page book which explains the construction and use of basic measuring tools right through to an overview of some of the most sophisticated and accurate inspection and calibration equipment available today. Material is presented in both millimetre and inch units and is supported by more than 400 colour photographs and illustrations. While primarily intended as essential reading material for trainees attending courses run by the Mitutoyo Institute of Metrology, the book will be very useful to anyone currently studying in schools, colleges and universities or embarking on a career that requires an understanding of the fundamentals of metrology.

Recensione:

The critical importance of capable manufacturing processes to produce high quality products is readily acknowledged, but the significance of 'Best in Class' measurement technology and processes is not as well understood. Indeed, this appreciation, knowledge and application of metrology - the Science of Measurement - is a primary pre-requisite to any World Class Manufacturing competency acriss the industry. Measurement methods, technology and planning is generally handed down by skilled engineers and progressively developed through application and experience in the workplace. As a result, the technical knowledge and general competence lacks the required professional development structure and process standardisation framework. This leads to huge variation in the application of measurement technology processes and consequential poor quality and customer dissatisfaction. Best in Class measurement is about consistency, repeatability and accuracy - the hallmark of World Class Manufacturing companies. This outstanding reference book on Metrology provides a comprehensive explanation of the underlying principles, technology, equipment and application of a wide range of workplace measurement systems. I fully intend to draw upon it further to improve the methods and processes of our programme on Measurement Excellence. This reference book will be of great assistance to my team and I recommend it as essential reading for engineers throughout the manufacturing industry. --Dr. Hamid Mughal - Executive Vice President Manufacturing Engineering - Rolls-Royce plc

Presents in very clear fashion the historical perspective, key principles, tools and techniques of the field of metrology. We will be recommending this book to our students and using it as a core text for our metrology related classes. --William Ion - Head of Department Design, Manufacture and Engineering - University of Strathclyde
