Description:
Abstract:

In the control of a drilling machine or the like, the drilling cutter is traversed toward a workpiece and its motion converted to a slower feed rate at the instant the cutter engages the workpiece. Such engagement is signaled by producing first and second electrical signals whenever the cutter is moving respectively toward or away from the workpiece, and detecting the momentary appearance of the second signal which results when the cutter strikes and rebounds slightly from the workpiece.
