Comprehensively covers the fundamental scientific principles and technologies used in the design of modern computer-controlled machines and processes. The second edition delves into embedded microcontroller-based design of machines, including MATLAB®/Simulink®-based embedded control software development. It explores electrohydraulic motion control systems, with extensive applications in the construction equipment industry. The book also discusses electric motion control, servo systems, and coordinated multi-axis automated motion control for factory automation applications. Accompanied by a website hosting a solution manual.
