Inhaltsangabe

Precision begins long before a machine makes its first move.

A machine can contain carefully selected components and still fall short of its accuracy requirements. Structural deflection, thermal growth, vibration, sensor placement, and control behavior all influence the final result. Understanding how these factors interact is essential to sound precision machine design.

Handbook of Precision Machine Design: Error Budgets, Architecture, Metrology, Control, and Verification by Wayne S. Delarosa brings these topics together through a practical, system-level approach.

This user guide book is written for educational purposes, helping engineers, designers, technologists, and advanced engineering students connect design principles with measurement, analysis, and verification.

Across 20 chapters, you will explore how to:

• Define measurable requirements and develop error budgets that connect individual contributions to overall machine performance.

• Evaluate structural and material choices with attention to stiffness, dimensional stability, thermal effects, and vibration.

• Understand precision motion components, including bearings, guideways, flexures, spindles, drives, and actuators.

• Connect sensors, metrology, and servo control to the machine’s functional requirements.

• Plan manufacturing, assembly, and alignment with clear attention to interfaces and sources of error.

• Assess calibration, compensation, and verification, including residual error, drift monitoring, and recalibration.

Build a clearer understanding of why precision succeeds—and where it can be lost.

Illustrative calculations, engineering figures, error-budget and verification templates, a glossary, and references support your study. The book encourages you to examine assumptions, follow the paths through which forces and measurement errors act, and identify the evidence needed to evaluate a design.

Whether you are studying precision engineering, reviewing a machine concept, or strengthening your understanding of complete-machine behavior, this handbook provides a structured reference for connecting component decisions to system performance.

This book provides education and general engineering reference. It does not replace qualified professional judgment, project-specific analysis, current standards, supplier data, or appropriate safety procedures.
