← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a CNC lathe's closed-loop control exhibits excessive integral windup?
A)Unstable oscillations in tool position✓
B)Reduced spindle motor torque ripple
C)Decreased thermal stress on bearings
D)Improved surface finish on the part
💡 Explanation
Excessive integral windup causes unstable oscillations because the integral term accumulates error beyond the saturation limits producing large corrective signals even after the error is reduced. Therefore, the tool oscillates rather than providing stable cutting as would happen with well-tuned PID gains.
