Interpolator in a CNC machine

1. controls spindle speed
2. coordinates axes movements
3. operates tool changer
4. commands canned cycle

Correct answer: coordinates axes movements

Solution

The interpolator in a CNC machine is responsible for calculating the precise movements of the machine's axes to create the desired path for machining, ensuring accurate positioning and smooth transitions.
