Preface
This book concerns itself with the key scientific disciplines of Machine Tool Metrology, which has long been considered something of a Black-art by many industrial users for this type of machine tool plant and associated metrology equipment. Invariably, a highly-productive machine tool situated in certain unenlightened production shops has, in fact, probably never actually been reverified, or recalibrated since the day of its original delivery and installation. Such a lack of any form of verification and metrological testing procedures in today’s industrial climate of continuously-improving machined component quality and its accompanying lean-production methods seems somewhat unthinkable. Nonetheless, such a lack of subsequent testing is habitually the case in many
