Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the design and implementation of the MOSAIC system, an open-architecture controller designed for the next generation of self-reliant machine tools. The author posits that this open-system computer technology is well-suited for the multitasking, multi-sensory environment of tomorrow's machine tools. The author begins by introducing the concept of a self-sustaining machine tool before explaining the general configuration of a generic controller system and its contents. Through a discussion of the hardware and software used to implement the system, the author reveals the technical challenges that were overcome to create this machine. Finally, the author explores some of the future applications for the system, such as closed-loop force and torque control and the use of an expert system for machining. The insights in this book on machine control are significant and will be of interest not only to manufacturing and mechanical systems engineers but also to computer scientists and programmers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
