STEPPING MOTORSSTEPPING MOTORS
A stepping motor provides open-loop, digital
control of the position of a workpiece in a
numerical control machine. The drive unit
receives a direction input (cw or ccw) and pulse
inputs. For each pulse it receives, the drive unit
manipulates the motor voltage and current,
causing the motor shaft to rotate bya fixed angle
(one step). The lead screw converts the rotary
motion of the motor shaft into linear motion of
the workpiece .

Drills, Taps, and Reamers
Common HSS tools such as
drills, taps, and reamers are
commonly used on CNC
machining centers. Note that a
spot drill is used instead of a
centerdrill. Also, spiral point or
gun taps are used for through
holes and spiral flute for blind
holes. Rarely are hand taps
used on a machining center.

8484
TOOL HOLDERSTOOL HOLDERS
All cutting tools must be held in a holder
that fits in the spindle. These include end
mill holders (shown), collet holders, face
mill adapters, etc. Most machines in the
USA use a CAT taper which is a modified
NST 30, 40, or 50 taper that uses a pull
stud and a groove in the flange. The
machine pulls on the pull stud to hold the
holder in the spindle, and the groove in
the flange gives the automatic tool
changer something to hold onto. HSK tool
holders were designed a number of years
ago as an improvement to CAT tapers,
but they are gaining acceptance slowly.

Assume that a drilling operation is to be
programmed as:
1. The tool is positioned at (25.4,12.5,0) by a
rapid movement.
2. The tool is then advanced -10 mm in the z
direction at a feed rate of 500 mm/min., with the
flood coolant on.
3.The is then retracted back 10 mm at the rapid
feed rate, and the coolant is turned off.

is may be the same for any part and for any
machine. For example, drilling a hole involves
the following steps:
Position the tool above the point where the
hole will be drilled
Set the correct spindle speed
Feed the tool into the workpiece at a
controlled feed rate to a predetermined depth
Retract the tool at a rapid rate to just above
