That is the kind of process engineering and fabricating that is fascinating to me.
- jacquesm 3y agoIt is. The company that built the system makes very nice stuff. This is the Chinese parent company with subsidiary in Germany: https://www.inovance.eu/industries/cnc-machine-tools https://www.inovance.eu/industries/cnc-machine-tools And this is the notice about them acquiring Powerautomation, the German company that designed and manufactured those controllers: https://www.inovance.eu/news/details/inovance-technology-europe-gmbh-has-acquired-the-business-of-the-power-automation-gmbh-cnc-automatisierungstechnik-54 https://www.inovance.eu/news/details/inovance-technology-eur... PA was a fantastic company but like many such specialist producers they didn't have a clear succession path laid out so they eventually got sold.
- kaba0 3y agoI’m similarly interested. Does anyone know of an introductory book on modern production technology? It somehow seems to be an impenetrable topic to me without actually doing a major in some kind of engineering.
- jacquesm 3y agoThis would be a great start but it is a pretty large book: https://books.industrialpress.com/9780831136369/the-cnc-handbook/ https://books.industrialpress.com/9780831136369/the-cnc-hand... Also, the materials science and engineering handbook. It's floating around on the web in PDF form if you just want to skim it but if you really need it you should probably buy a copy (warning: huge book): https://www.amazon.com/Materials-Science-Engineering-Handbook-Third/dp/0849326966 https://www.amazon.com/Materials-Science-Engineering-Handboo...
