A CNC machine has one of its linear positioning axes as shown in the figure, consisting of a motor rotating a lead screw, which in turn moves a nut horizontally on which a table is mounted. The motor moves in discrete rotational steps of 5050 steps per revolution. The pitch of the screw is 5 mm5\text{ mm} and the total horizontal traverse length of the table is 100 mm100\text{ mm}. What is the total number of controllable locations at which the table can be positioned on this axis?
CNC linear axis: stepper motor driving a lead screw, with a nut carrying the table
