Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering

  1. In a CNC feed drive, a stepper motor with step angle of 1.8 degree drives a lead screw with pitch of 2 mm. The basic length unit (BLU) for this drive is
    1. 10 microns
    2. 20 microns
    3. 40 microns
    4. 100 microns
Correct Option: A

Step Angle = 1.8°/pulse. pitch = 2 mm.
Distance travelled in one revolution (360°) = 2 m.

No. of pulse in 360° =
360
= 200 pulse.
1.8

Distance travelled in one pulse =
2
mm.
200

= 0.01 mm = 10 mm
