Seminar

This session will present engineering principles of metal cutting operations, machine tool vibrations and CNC systems. Other topics discussed will include:

• The effect of material properties, tool geometry, and cutting conditions on torque, power and cutting loads.
• Measurement and evaluation of machine tool stiffness and performance
• Machine tool vibrations and how they can be avoided while increasing the metal removal rate
• Metal cutting process simulation
• Virtual Machining System developed at UBC

Instructor

Dr. Yusuf Altintas, P.Eng., NSERC-P&WC Industrial Research Chair Professor in Virtual Machining Manufacturing Automation Laboratory, University of British Columbia

Professor Altintas is the leading international scientist in the field of metal cutting and machine tool engineering.
