Q2)

(a)  NC systems machines consists of three basic elements. Explain them in the light of  role played by each in accomplishing the job of NC machine.

(b) A DC-servomotor is coupled directly to a lead of screw which drives the table of an NC-machine tool. A digital encoder which emits 500 pules per revolution; is mounted on the other end of the other end of the lead screw if the lead screw pitch is 5 mm and the motor rotates at 600 rpm, calculate the (a) linear velocity of the table, (b) basic length unit (i.e. increment size or bit weight) of the NC system, (c) frequency of pules transmitted by the encoder.
