โฆ Synopsis
Over 2000 drawings make this sourcebook a gold mine of information for learning and innovating in mechanical design
The fourth edition of this unique engineering reference book covers the past, present, and future of mechanisms and mechanical devices. Among the thousands of proven mechanisms illustrated and described are many suitable for recycling into new mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronic products and systems. Overviews of robotics, rapid prototyping, MEMS, and nanotechnology will get you up-to-speed on these cutting-edge technologies. Easy-to-read tutorial chapters on the basics of mechanisms and motion control will introduce those subjects to you or refresh your knowledge of them.
- Comprehensive index to speed your search for topics of interest
- Glossaries of terms for gears, cams, mechanisms, and robotics
- New industrial robot specifications and applications
- Mobile robots for exploration, scientific research, and defense
