Auf der 3. European Conference on Grinding (ECG 2010) werden Neu- und Weiterentwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Schleiftechnik vorgestellt. Darüber hinaus werden Perspektiven und Potenziale der Branche aufgezeigt. Die Beiträge vereinen Lösungsansätze aus der Praxis mit aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen aus Forschung und Entwicklung. Rund um die Schleiftechnologie werden Neuheiten vorgestellt und innovative Ansätze zu den Themen Prozess, Werkzeug, Maschine und Peripherie präsentiert. Dieser Tagungsband entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Stiftung Institut für Werkstofftechnik (IWT) Bremen, dem Verband Deutscher Schleifmittelwerke (VDS) und dem Werkzeugmaschinenlabor WZL der RWTH Aachen University und bietet Fachleuten aus den Bereichen Entwicklung, Konstruktion, Arbeitsvorbereitung und Fertigung informative Beiträge aus Industrie und Forschung. The 3rd European Conference on Grinding intends to introduce new developments and perspectives in the field of grinding technology. Potentials and perspectives of this sector are shown. Industrial Contributions will be complemented by latest scientific findings. The European Conference on Grinding (ECG 2010) informs about developments in the fields of process, tool, machinery and periphery. These conference proceedings were composed in close cooperation with the Foundation Institute of Materials Science (IWT) Bremen, the Verband Deutscher Schleifmittelwerke (VDS) and the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University. It is dedicated to experts working in the fields of development, construction, process planning and production.

Autorentext
Professor Dr.-Ing. Dr. E. h. Fritz Klocke (born in 1950 in Vlotho) studied manufacturing engineering at the Technical University of Berlin. He was a research assistant there at the Institute for Machine Tools and Manufacturing Technology until 1981, and then as head engineer until 1984. He received his engineering doctorate in 1982. From 1984 until 1994 he worked in industry as a technical director. On January 1, 1995 he was called to the RWTH Aachen as Professor of Manufacturing Engineering Technology and has since then been the Chair of Manufacturing Technology, director of the WZL Laboratory for Machine Tools & Production Engineering at the RWTH Aachen, and head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT in Aachen. A doctorate of honoris causa "Dr. E. h." was bestowed upon Professor Klocke by the University of Hannover in 2006. Professor Klocke is a Fellow of the International Academy for Production Engineering CIRP and was the CIRP President from 2007 2008.
