Machining

This subject includes an analysis study of cutting properties of tools and of
the machinability of materials. In another part of the subject applications
of acquired information and regularities for all methods of machining in
extreme conditions during the special production of shapes and formed surface
areas are used. This part includes as well a technological view for machining
by applying microelectronics and computer techniques.
This subject is dealing with machinability and cutting power of cutting tools,
types of machining and robotics and unmanned centers.
