Question: the worktable of a CNC machine tool is driven by a Positioning system which consists of a Stepper motor and lead screw. The lead screw

the worktable of a CNC machine tool is driven by a Positioning system which consists of a Stepper motor and lead screw. The lead screw has 1.52 threads/cm and is coupled directly to the motor shaft (gear ratio=1:1). The table has been programmed to move a distance of 30 Cm at afeed rate=0-35 m/min. the stepper
motor has 45 step angles 6 marks
(1) How many Pulses are required by the control System to move the programmed distance?
(ii) Rotational speed of the motor to make the move
(iii) Pulse rate to achieve the desired table spool
