Hi Guys,
I am getting my machine calibarated in X/Y and Z, but i have come across some concept issues that I was hoping to could be answered.These are Mach 2 related:
Machine setup config:
X-axis is direct drive on a CAM shaft belt
Y-Axis is a 5mm linear screw, direct drive
Z-Axis is a 3mm acme thread, direct drive
When we setup the Z-axis, we used a digital vernier and under >config>Motor tuning set the step per unit until it is accurate.
From what we can see, there is a setting of 5 in the system somewhere.
Is this changeable, or am i missing something.
What I would like to achieve is a better (higher) value for the "steps per unit" figure, or is this only possible wit gearing?
thanks
Michael
