Quick Navigation

Overview

Help prepare students for careers in industrial maintenance with Brumbach/Clade’s “Manufacturing Maintenance Technology,” 3rd Edition, available in print and digital formats. This comprehensive resource provides a strong foundation in all four major areas of manufacturing maintenance: general, mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing maintenance.

Essential information, as well as a detailed exploration of modern machinery, equipment, and manufacturing infrastructure, helps students understand, diagnose, troubleshoot, and maintain a wide variety of industrial machines and processes. Updated and revised content reflects recent developments, including mechanical power transmission, reactive circuits and power factor, control and controlled devices, electronic variable speed drives, and programmable controllers. With comprehensive, up-to-date coverage strengthened by Cengage’s learning platform, MindTap, this student-friendly resource sets learners up for success as manufacturing maintenance technicians.
