I'm Jon
I don't have any pics but I have been buy peices for the last 2 weeks. I have questions about some things.
I'm trying to decide between steppers and servos still because the similar price of gecko stepper and servo drives. I bought a 48v 20amp power supply. If I got 6amp stepper motors will that power supply enough amperage and if I wanted to add a 4th for a 4th axis is there enough overhead to add one?
I also got my racks for my xaxis from moore gear. I'm trying to work out the math for sure with that.
It's 20pa 20 degree rack .5by.5 fairly standard rack for this application.
The 203 driver has 10 step micro stepping
A regular stepper motor has 200 step per full turn so therefore the math is
1inch pitch diameter pinion on a stepper should yield 0.005 then micro step it to 0.0005 resoltion correct? The reason I ask this is because I don't understand the for cncrouterparts 3:1 reduction system unless you ned more torque in your system?
Is there such thing as to much stepper power? It's not much more for the 906oz vs a about 600oz stepper.
