    Re: stepper motor calibration

    Most stepper drives settings go steps to turn the stepper motor 1.8 degrees. So I think you need a setting of 4.

    I haven't done the math, but I am wondering if you have not converted from mm to...
  4. Re: Why does this program make the machine crash? - with video

    I am not a machinist or g-code expert, but we have a huge Quickmill that does the same thing when we use the right angle head. We found out the hard way we need to program in a safe move in the...
  5. Re: Help with tuning Stepper motor& Drive on UCCNC AXIS X,Y,Z

    Pitch in metric is expressed by the amount of linear movement in 1 revolution of the screw. Example: one turn of the screw moves your axis 5 mm, so the pitch of the screw is 5 mm.

  9. Re: New Hermes Vanguard 3400 . video card type???

    I believe our controller was older by a year or two so you might have a 486 controller. As far as the ISA video card I would think any would work if it is going to work. Your card must be a cga...
  10. Re: New Hermes Vanguard 3400 . video card type???

    We had a 386 in our controller. the motherboard did have ISA slots in it. My doubt is that the bios is priority written, and doesn't support video. You never know if the bios was hacked from a...

  16. Re: would Step Angle be an issue for changing stepper motors

    The 1.8 mean the motor turns 1.8 degree per step or that it has 200 steps/rev (360/200). The 3.6 has half the steps, which which means the 3.6 will turn 2 rev for every 1 the 1.8. basically how fine...

    Re: Rotary table indexer

    The stepper should be already protected, because the stepper creates back EMF, from the magnetic field collapsing every step it takes.

    Re: Working out power supply needed for NEMA 23

    A 24v rated at 6 amp will work. The 50 volts is for max performance. With 50v the stepper should have higher top rpm than the 24v.
