Title: Progress in Precision Engineering
Description: The last 5-10 years have witnessed dramatic progress in precision engineering, particularly due to the rapid development in the fields of micro engineering and nanotechnology. This volume contains selected contributions presented at the 6th International Precision Engineering Seminar and the 2nd International Conference on Ultraprecision in Manufacturing Engineering, held in Braunschweig in May 1991. The contributions are arranged into 11 sections dealing with the following topics: Ultraprecision displacement metrology.- High precision sensor systems.- Three-dimensional metrology.- High-precision machine design and manufacture.- Techniques and equipment for machine performance testing.- High-precision machining processing and materials. Machine and process control.- Non-conventional processes for industrial applications.- Wider applications of ultra-precision technologies.- New developments in precision engineering.- Miscellanea.
