Hi all I am putting together my build list and need some input. I dont have a clue how to determine if I am going to be under powered or over kill on my motors and I also need some advice on the board vs HMI. I am planning on running Mach 3 on my HMI (windows xp) to my XHC MK6 motion controller/breakout board. I have Fusion 360 and love it. I am told it works fine with Mach 3 and that my XP HMI will work as long as I am going through the MK6 board. Any feed back on this or does anyone have any experience with the XHC MK6 board? I am building a 5 axis with the option to add a 6th later. The kit I am looking at has the NEMA 34 motors but the NM to oz. in stuff is greek to me. It says the motors are 13.0nm (1841 oz. in.) powered by 350W 60V 5.9A power supplies. I think this is plenty or maybe overkill but would love some feed back on that too. The basics on the design are 1500x1000x400 on the 3 axis with a 6 bearing 4 rail (2 top bearings on each of the 2 top rails and one bearing riding on bottom rails to help stabilize the gantry more giving 3 points of contact per side for the gantry rather than just the top rails alone). I plan on running one motor for the 400 mm Z axis, one motor for the 1000 mm Y axis (possibly mounted on the back of the gantry and belt driven to the front), and dual motors on the 1500 mm X axis. The A and B will come later and will probably be using NEMA 23 or 24 motors. The primary use is milling aluminum but it will see some stainless and mild steel as well. The spindle is a 2.2kw liquid cooled. I hope I am describing this all in a way some of you can picture it. This is my first time posting on here and I am not sure how to post pics yet or I would so that everyone had a better idea of what I am saying. Any and all advice is appreciated. I just want to know I am on the right track before I get everything and find out I should have asked first lol Thanks all Cheers!
