Question: An NC worktable is driven by a close loop positioning system consisting of a servomotor, ball screw, and optical encoder. The screw has a pitch

An NC worktable is driven by a close loop positioning system consisting of a servomotor, ball screw, and optical encoder. The screw has a pitch = 6.0mm and is coupled to the motor shaft with a gear ratio of 5:1 (five turns of the motor for each turn of the screw). The optical encoder generates 120 pulses/rev of the screw. The table has been programmed to move 80.00 mm at a feed rate of 300 mm/min.

Determine

(a) how many pulses are received by the control system to verify that the table has moved exactly 80.mm; and

(b) the pulse rate, and

(c) motor speed that correspond to the specific feed rate.
