Precision Motion Control focuses on enabling technologies for precision engineering - issues of direct importance to be addressed in the overall system design and realization: precision instrumentation and measurement, geometrical calibration and compensation, and motion control. It is a compilation of the most important results and publications from a major project that develops a state-of-the-art, high-speed, ultra-precision robotic system.
The second edition has been edited and rewritten throughout with the following particular areas being expanded or added: - piezoelectric actuators; - fine movement control; - gantry-stage control; - interpolation of quadrature encoder signals; - geometrical error modelling for single-, dual- and general-XY-axis stages.
By providing detailed experimental verifications of the material developed, a comprehensive and thorough treatment of the subject matter, accessible to a broad base of readers, ranging from academics to practitioners, is provided.

Additional text
From reviews for the first edition:
Precision Motion Control nicely integrates a number of important topics in precision motion control. It also comes with a complete set of references for further information. All told, it represents a useful reference and an excellent single source of essential topics related to precision motion control.
Applied Mechanics Reviews 55 (2002) B68 – 69 (Reviewer: P.H. Meckl)
…a refreshing and much needed addition to the field of precision engineering.
