← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when excessive backlash distorts an encoder's square wave signal in a CNC milling machine?
A)Phase shift appears incorrectly✓
B)Harmonic distortion increases linearly
C)Frequency doubles unexpectedly afterward
D)Signal amplitude diminishes sinusoidally
💡 Explanation
In CNC milling, backlash during rapid direction changes introduces timing errors; therefore the encoder reports incorrect phase shifts because differential encoding detects position based on quadrature decoding, rather than alternatives generating amplitude or frequency changes as continuous movement artifacts.
