Automation Equipment and Systems

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The present volumes provide up-to-date, comprehensive and world-class state-of-the art knowledge concerning manufacturing science and engineering, focusing on Automation Equipment and Systems. The 633 peer-reviewed papers are grouped into 16 chapters: Material Section; Mechatronics; Industrial Robotics and Automation; Machine Vision; Sensor Technology; Measurement Control Technologies and Intelligent Systems; Transmission and Control of Fluids; Mechanical Control and Information Processing Technology; Embedded Systems; Advanced Forming Manufacturing and Equipment; NEMS/MEMS Technology and Equipment; Micro-Electronic Packaging Technology and Equipment; Advanced NC Techniques and Equipment; Power and Fluid Machinery; Energy Machinery and Equipment; Construction Machinery and Equipment.Volume one of the four-volume set presents recent research on materials for automation equipment while volume two focuses on mechatronics and industrial robotics. Two papers from Capital Medical University in Beijing propose a method for lumbar vertebra CT image segmentation and an algorithm for anatomic contour extraction from vertebra CT images. The third volume explores machine vision, sensor technology, measurement control, intelligent systems, transmission, fluid control, mechanical control, and numerical simulation analysis. Chinese researchers investigate lead in the sediments of Love River, electronic scale calibration, factors influencing carbon dioxide corrosion, indoor radon concentration reduction, and pollution caused by coal washing. The last volume discusses embedded systems, advanced forming manufacturing, NEMS/MEMS, micro-electronic packaging, advanced NC techniques, power and fluid machinery, and construction equipment.
