A non-servo electric slide typically use his heart stops and magnetic reed switches for positioning

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

In a non-servo system, position control is open-loop, so movement is not continually fed back to confirm where the slide actually is. The common way to define travel and establish a reference is to use end stops or limit switches that stop the motion at the ends. Magnetic reed switches can act as simple on/off sensors if magnets are placed at specific positions, but they’re not the usual or primary method for positioning in a non-servo slide, since there’s no reliable way to know the exact position after startup without additional calibration or counting. So the statement isn’t generally true.
