Hello everyone, I am having problems with my step motor on my x-axis stalling. Sometimes it goes, sometimes it don't go. But if it does start moving it sounds fairly ok. It seems to have the problems at the lower rpm range.
My gantry weighs around 85lbs I am guessing. And I have 640oz/in motor, 5tpi ballscrew.
So my question is, how much more torque do I need. If I went to 1200oz/in is that going to be enough? What can I do to figure out how much power I need.
Here are some pics of my machine to see what I am working with. :cheers:
