or torque. Other systems are in use, how ever, w hich in spite of the possibility of damage to the machine structure or to the mechanical system, ale designed w ith special high—torque stepping motors. In this case, the motors have sufficient capacity to “overpower” the system in the event of almost any contingency. The original N/ C used the closed—loop system. Of the tw o systems, closed and open loop, closed loop is more accurate and, as a consequence, is generally more expensive. Initially, open—loop systems w ere used al most entirely for lightduty applications because of inherent pow er limitations previously associated w ith conventional electric stepping motors. Recent advances in the development of electro hydraulic stepping motors have led to increasingly heavier machin e load applications. 數(shù) 控技術(shù) 數(shù)控是可編程自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的一種形式,通過(guò)數(shù)字、字母和其他符號(hào)來(lái)控制加工設(shè)備。外文翻譯 NUMERICAL CONTROL Numerical control(N/ C)is a form of programmable automation in w hich the processing equipment is controlled by means of numbers ,letters, and other symbols. The numbers, letters, and symbols are coded in an appropriate format to define a p rogram of instructions for a particular w ork part or job. When the job changes, the program of instructions is changed. The capability to change the program is w hat makes N/ C suitable for low and mediumvolume production. It is much easier to w rite programs than to make major alterations of the processing equipment. There are tw o basic types of numerically controlled machine tools:point—to—point and continuous—path(also called contouring). Point—to—point machines use unsynchronized motors,w ith the result that the position of the machining head Can be assured only upon pletion of a movement, or w hile only one motor is running. Machines of this type are principally used for straight—line cuts or for drilling or boring. The N/ C system consists of the follow ing p onents: data input, the tape reader with the control unit, feedback devices, and the metal—cutting machine tool or other type of N/ C equipment. Data input, also called “man—to—control link”, may be provided to the machine tool manually, or entirely by automatic means. Manual methods w hen used as the sole source of input data are restricted to a relatively small number of inputs. Examples of manually operated devices are keyboard dials, pushbuttons, switches, or thumbw heel selectors. These are located on a console near the machine. Dials ale analog devices usually connected to a synchrotype resolver or potentiometer. In most cases, pushbuttons, switches, and other
