i have read a bunch of posts here, and don't recall this subject being raised or answered; s-o-o-o, i am *guessing* there are problems with this approach, but i'll ask anyways...
in searching for motors, drivers, etc, i have run across some apparent 'bargains' for stepper motors, but they only had one of a particular make/model; so if i get an 'ABC' brand 120oz motor of some electrical characteristics, an 'XYZ' brand 200oz motor for another axis, and a '123' brand 100oz motor, can i successfully integrate them in one machine *without* jumping through many/any hoops, fabricating custom circuits, etc ? ? ? (my electronic skills don't go much beyond knowing which end of a soldering iron is hot...)
further -assuming it is possible/practical to mix/match motors of differnt brands/capacities and electrical specs- would there be a preference for making the most powerful motor for the ? axis, the next most powerful for the ? axis, and the least powerful motor for the ? axis ? ? ?
(my machine being a moving table design along the lines of JOHN CONRAD KLEINBAUER's seventh sojourn...)
thanks in advance for your guidance...
