← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a CNC lathe's linear guide rails experience preload loss?
A)Increased chatter during cutting operations✓
B)Improved surface finish and precision
C)Reduced thermal expansion effects overall
D)Higher spindle speeds are easily achievable
💡 Explanation
Increased chatter occurs, because preload maintains rigidity in the rails, supporting the cutting forces. The mechanism of instability manifests as resonant vibrations. Therefore, process stability decreases, rather than improved precision, under thermal stress, or during high-speed machining regimes.
