How fast should I be able to move my steppers I thought I could get around 700-1000 rpm my data sheet for my steeper has up to 20 rps. My brain says take 20 * 60 sec for 1200 rpm. Now I’m using mach3 and gecko 201s. I can only make them move by setting the steps per to 20,000 and velocity to 10 this gives me movement about 75-100 rpm I guessing by the masking tape I have on there and a stop watch. Any other setting gives me sputtering or no movement I have the current resistor set to 1 amp.
Here are the basics of what I have.
Applied motion HT23-399
Gecko 201
24v dc @ 5 amps
Mach3
Any input would be great.
