← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a CNC lathe's spindle encoder malfunctions during a threading operation?
A)Thread pitch error increases✓
B)Cutting tool wear diminishes
C)Surface finish becomes smoother
D)Coolant flow rate stabilizes
💡 Explanation
Thread pitch error rises because the encoder feedback is disrupted, causing incorrect synchronization between spindle rotation and tool movement via velocity control, therefore incorrect threading results, rather than the stable or improved conditions in the other options.
