Hi everyone. I am a novice in all matters cnc and would appreciate your help.
I have just purchased an MF-35 mill drill and would like to add stepper motors to automate the machine. I have a number of the stepper motors pictured and wonder if they are suitable for the job? In addition to the motor, each one has a toothed belt drive driven by a gear on the motor shaft which, in turn, drives another pulley mounted on a bearing. These motors were originally fitted to Sharp electronic whiteboards. Their job was to move the plastic writing surface from side to side. The Sharp has two of these motors fitted, one which drives the screen to the right and the other - at the other end of the board - drives the screen to the left. What do you think? Am I able to use them? I look forward to hearing your opinion/s. Thank you. matikag. Melbourne, Australia.
