This handbook covers the fly cutting technique, an ultra-precision mechanical machining technology which is regarded as the fastest and most reliable low-cost machining method to generate high quality complex surfaces. The ultra-precision raster milling provides more flexibility and suitability for freeform and structural surfaces with a uniform quality with sub-micrometric form error and nanometric surface roughness. These surfaces are widely applied into optics, medicine, biotechnology, electronics, and communications. The fundamental and latest advancing knowledge of fly-cutting technology is important for the future development and applications in ultra-precision mechanical machining technology. This book provides a good reference for fly-cutting technology in ultra-precision machining for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, engineers, and postdoctoral fellow in advanced manufacturing area. It gives the audience an overview of the working principles, processmechanism, salient features, applications, and research directions of ultra-precision fly-cutting technology.

In this book, the design, manufacture and control technology of precision machines are introduced to achieve the concrete requirements for precision engineering. The key components of precision machines are introduced as well, such as precision spindles, control systems, tools and grinding wheels etc.

The aim of this handbook is to provide a comprehensive summary of sensing and measurement in precision manufacturing, which is essential for process and quality control. The importance of precision sensing and measurements lies not only in the ability to distinguish whether the manufactured part meets the assigned tolerances through inspection but also, in many cases, reduce the deviation of the manufactured part from the designed values through improvement of the process or compensation manufacturing based on the sensing and measurement results. The information provided in the book will be of interest to industrial practitioners and researchers in the field of precision manufacturing sensing and measurements.This volume is part of a handbook series that covers a comprehensive range of scientific and technological matters in 'Precision Manufacturing'.
