A CNC worktable is driven in a linear direction by
a lead screw connected directly to a stepper motor.
The pitch of the lead screw is 5 mm. The stepper
motor completes one full revolution upon receiving
600 pulses. If the worktable speed is 5 m/minute
and there is no missed pulse, then the pulse rate
being received by the stepper motor is
(a) 20 kHz
(b) 10 kHz
(c) 3 kHz
(d) 15 kHz
The worktable of a CNC machine tool is driven by a closed-loop positioning system that consists of a servomotor, ball screw, and optical encoder. The screw has 4 threads/in and is coupled directly to the motor shaft (gear ratio = 1:1). The optical encoder generates 180 pulses per motor revolution. The table is programmed to move a distance = 6.0 in at a feed rate = 25.0 in/min. (a) How many pulses are received by the control system to verify that the table has moved the programmed distance? Determine (b) the pulse rate and (c) motor speed that correspond to the specified feed rate.
Make three (3) problems regarding calculations of information capacity, bit rate, baud, or M-ary encoding.
