In NC machine, the function of interpolator is to
Show Hint
- compute and maintain the tool feed rate
- compute and maintain the velocity of the slide
- generate warning signal based on the error
- generate reference signals prescribing the shape of the produced part
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
- Therefore, the interpolator's primary function is to generate reference signals that describe the shape of the part being produced.

Questions Asked in GATE PI exam
A regular dodecagon (12-sided regular polygon) is inscribed in a circle of radius \( r \) cm as shown in the figure. The side of the dodecagon is \( d \) cm. All the triangles (numbered 1 to 12 in the figure) are used to form squares of side \( r \) cm, and each numbered triangle is used only once to form a square. The number of squares that can be formed and the number of triangles required to form each square, respectively, are:
In the given figure, the numbers associated with the rectangle, triangle, and ellipse are 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Which one among the given options is the most appropriate combination of \( P \), \( Q \), and \( R \)?
- The left-hand side of a 20 cm thick wall is maintained at 25°C. The right-hand side of the wall is exposed to hot air at 50°C. There is no heat generation inside the wall and its thermal conductivity is 100 W/m·K. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 50 W/m²·K. Under steady state condition, the temperature (in °C) of the right-hand side surface of the wall is ........ (Rounded off to one decimal place).

- Water flows through a smooth circular pipe of diameter 10 cm and length 10 m. The pressure drop across the length of the pipe is 0.2 Pa. Kinematic viscosity and density of water are \(1 \times 10^{-6} \, {m}^2/{s}\) and 1000 \({kg/m}^3\), respectively. Assuming laminar and fully developed flow throughout the pipe, the velocity of water (in mm/s) at the center of the pipe is ........ (Rounded off to one decimal place)
