General Discussion / Stepper Motors & Driver Information
« on: September 02, 2016, 01:24:39 PM »
I have just purchased from you the following -
PMDX-424
PMDX-407
PMDX-179-PAN
I have also bought a 2 year old computer running Windows 10.
I am looking forward to getting everything up and running.
Question about Stepper Motors and Drivers - please see your comments below from a past topic - is the comment true, as long as the stepper motors and drivers are matched, they will work with the boards that I have bought from you?
Yes, this is a gantry machine with 2 motors moving the gantry.
Any direction in this area would be a big help!
Your past comments -
The 425 oz-in motors that you currently have are possibly a little
underpowered for a 4' x 4' router depending on how fast and hard
you need to cut. Hopefully this is a gantry machine with a tandem
setup moving the gantry.
More powerful motors would require upgrading to a NEMA 34 or
to NEMA 23 oversize 60 mm motors which typically have a 3/8"
shaft instead of a 1/4" shaft.
