  • Patent number: 4038890
    Abstract: An electronic circuit particularly suited for use in a precision lead screw generator to monitor and control linear displacement of the carriage and cutting head and angular displacement or rotation of the workpiece at a preselected, fixed ratio. Rotation of the workpiece is controlled by a phase-locked electronic servo loop which divides one revolution of the piece into a preselected number of discrete increments. Similarly, linear displacement of the cutting head is controlled by an electronic servo loop, including a laser interferometer, which divides a selected unit of displacement into discrete increments. A master oscillator and appropriate frequency dividers incrementally step the respective servo loops at a frequency ratio corresponding to the desired pitch or lead of the final product.
