A neighbor started to build a CNC router and gave up. I have (2) 381oz motors rated at 3.5 amps and (2) 270oz motors rated at 2.8 amp. The power supply is 24 volts at rated at 14 amps but has large voltage swings with a meter on it. There is no motor controller (driver) as he lost that somehow.
My question is. Would a regulated 48volt power supply rated at 9 amps be a good or better solution? Would the motors draw less amps at a higher voltage? The setup is 4 axis with two motors on the table (4 foot by 4 foot), one on the gantry and one moves up and down for a router.
What about the motor driver? I am a little confused which direction to go. He said he bought a Gexko all in one but cannot find it. I thought Gexko sold insurance until I Googled Gexko CNC. Is an all in one the dest way for a beginner to go?
Thanks for any help!
