Abstract

18.1 The main headings under which the control of machine tools can be considered are shown in Fig. 18.1. It is not intended to describe the technical details of the various systems, which are amply covered in publications on machine tool design. Rather, it is intended to show the pattern into which the various systems of control fit, and to dwell at greater length on those of comparatively recent introduction, whose potentialities are often not fully appreciated.
