← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a servomotor in a CNC lathe loses encoder feedback while cutting hardened steel?
A)Runaway axis motion ensues✓
B)Cutting depth variations diminish
C)Spindle speed proportionally increases
D)Coolant supply pressure stabilizes
💡 Explanation
Runaway axis motion ensues because the **closed-loop control** fails without positional feedback, therefore the motor accelerates unchecked attempting to reach a phantom target, rather than maintaining programmed trajectory. Decreased depth, spindle speed changes, or coolant pressure stability are unrelated outcomes.
