  • The newest book on use of grinding wheels and other bonded products written by a preeminent authority of grinding and machine tools.
    Dr. Rowe draws upon his extensive experience in grinding and machine tools to assemble a resource useful to every engineer, researcher or managers concerned with precision grinding. The systematic layout covers all critical parameters and offers insight into the latest trends in abrasives, grinding wheels, machine controls, fluids, and process design.

  • State-of-the-art knowledge about grinding process and their control in manufacturing.

  • THE AUTHOR
    W. Brian Rowe is a world-renowned research and consulting engineer who served as Director of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology and Tribology Research Laboratory (AMTTREL) at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. A multiple recipient of prizes from The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Dr. Rowe has over four decades of experience with machine tools, grinding processes, and tribology. His publication credits include over 250 published papers as well as contributor or author of several books.
    Rowe's experience has been focused on the automotive and aerospace industries. In his early work Dr. Rowe developed a hydrostatic grinding machines with high-stiffness and high-precision, his hydrostatic internal grinding machine won the Queens Award for Industry, and his related book on hydrostatic and hybrid bearing design is recognized as a key text on the subject. With a consuming interest in machines, processes and controls, he has served as Professor and Head of Mechanical Engineering at Liverpool John Moores University in 1973 where he established the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Research Laboratory (AMTREL), a dynamic group known for its assistance to industry. Dr. Rowe's name appears in countless publications on grinding, machine design, machine dynamics, high-speed grinding, adaptive control, computer numerical control systems, thermal damage and fluid delivery.
