Which outcome occurs when an absolute encoder fails within a CNC milling machine?

A)Inaccurate tool pathing and fabrication
B)Reduced spindle motor torque output
C)Overcurrent tripping of servo amplifiers
D)Loss of coolant pump cavitation

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate tool pathing results because the absolute positioning data provided by the encoder becomes corrupted. This leads to the controller executing incorrect G-code instructions using incorrect angles, therefore resulting in mis-machined parts rather than accurate milling which depends on precise angular control.
