Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering

Direction: In the feed drive of a Point-to-Point open loop CNC drive, a stepper motor rotating at 200 steps/rev drives a table through a gear box and lead screw-nut mechanism (pitch = 4 mm, number of starts = 1). The gear ratio

U = 1/4. The 1 stepper motor (driven by voltage pulses from a pulse. The frequency of the pulse train from the pulse generator is f = 10,000 pulses per minute.

  1. Which type of motor is NOT used in axis or spindle drives of CNC machine tools?
    1. induction motor
    2. dc servo motor
    3. stepper motor
    4. linear servo motor
