← TechnologyWhich consequence results when thermal expansion misaligns a CNC milling machine's ball screw actuator?
A)Increased part dimensional errors✓
B)Reduced cutting tool wear rate
C)Improved surface finish quality
D)Decreased coolant system efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increased part dimensional errors result because thermal expansion causes **backlash amplification** in the misaligned ball screw actuator with servo-control feedback, leading to positioning inaccuracies; therefore tolerances are affected, rather than improved surface finish if adequately compensated via encoder mapping corrections.
