PREFACE
This Desk Edition of the Tool and Manufacturing Engineers Handbook
presents a unique collection of manufacturing information in one convenient
source. In addition to three entirely new chapters (robotics, CAD/ CAM and
flexible manufacturing), this book contains selected information from the
five volumes of the Fourth Edition of the TMEH. Those volumes are:
Volume 1, Machining, published in 1983
Volume 2, Forming, published in 1984
Volume 3, Materials, Finishing and Coating, published in 1985
Volume 4, Quality Control and Assembly, published in 1987
Volume 5, Manufacturing Management, published in 1988.
The scope of this edition is multifaceted-authoritative manufacturing
information for daily use by engineers, managers, consultants, and technicians, yet it also provides coverage of the fundamentals of manufacturing
processes for study by the novice engineer or student. This blend of coverage
has characterized the proven usefulness and reputation of SME Handbooks
in previous editions (dating back to 1949) and continues in this Desk Edition
to provide the basis for acceptance across all segments of manufacturing.
The reference material contained in this volume is the product of
incalculable hours of unselfish contribution by hundreds of individuals and
organizations who provided reference material for the five volumes of the
Handbook. These individuals and organizations are listed at the beginning
of this book. No written words of appreciation can sufficiently express the
special thanks due to these many forward thinking professionals and their
companies. But more importantly, their contributions will undoubtedly
serve to advance the understanding of manufacturing by management
throughout industry and will certainly help to spur major gains in
competitiveness in the years ahead. It should be noted that company
affiliations listed with each individual contributor are the contributors
affiliation at the time they donated their expertise to the development of the
five volume set.
Further recognition is due to the members of the SME Reference Publications Committee for their expert guidance and support and recognition is
due to the members of the Publications Development Department at SME
for their efforts on this volume.

The Society of Manufacturing Engineers is a professional society dedicated to advancing manufacturing through the continuing education of
manufacturing managers, engineers, technicians, and other manufacturing
professionals. The specific goal of the Society is to advance scientific knowledge in the field of manufacturing and to apply its resources to research,
writing, publishing, and disseminating information. The purpose of S ME is
to serve the professional needs of the many types of practitioners that make
up the manufacturing community.. .The collective goal of the membership is
the sharing and advancement of knowledge in the field of manufacturing for
the good of humanity.
The Society was founded in 1932 as the American Society of Tool Engineers (ASTE). From 1960 to 1969 it was known as the American Society of
Tool and Manufacturing Engineers (ASTME), and in January 1970 it
became the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. The changes in name
reflect the evolution of the manufacturing engineering profession and the
growth and increasing sophistication of a technical society that has gained an
international reputation for being the most knowledgeable and progressive
voice in the field.
