Interesting, covers a lot of ground. As the author of 7 Easy Steps to CNC Programming, I am looking to expand my understanding of CNC machines. I found this book very interesting. It covers the basics of electricty, electromotive force, horsepower and torque and so on. It then goes on to more detail about drives AC vs DC and so on. I am glad I bought it.
Doesn't ISA Employ an Error and Fact Checker? This book is full of confusing references, poor explanations and in some cases is just plain wrong. There is no doubt the author has worked in the industry, but has clearly focused on AC and DC Drives. Many of his explanations of mechanical concepts are confusing. His explanations of Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, and Linear Motors are confusing and often misleading. There are also numerous typos. I have worked with motors and drives for 16 years and was very disappointed in the quality of this book. I expected more from the ISA Press (publisher).
