... Cam, 63v caps should be ok as long as they have 63VW (volt working). Some caps have the "peak" voltage stamped on them and i they are 50V Peak then I would...
Hi Everyone, I am just in the planning stages and had a few questions. How many axis (Geckos) can be controlled using a standard parallel port? From what I can...
Hello, The biggest part of the answer depends upon whose control software is driving the port. Also depends upon what "outboard" hardware you're using... (I've...
Hi Mariss, I am using gecko201's on x and z of lathe, with mach3, it pulses 40,000 times an inch of travel. I can only go 6 inches a minute with so many...
... Glenn what sort of lead you have on your screws and reduction from your motors? If you have .200" lead screws it sounds like you have 4:1 reduction. If...
... The 210 has a "Step Multiplier" card. This basically takes whatever the steps are coming in from the computer and adds in additional steps. The end...
Hello, I remember seeing a video of a Sherline mill running at 75IPM. It has 20TPI screws. I'm pretty sure it was using Gecko's and I think it was Dan Mauch...
Hi Gecko enthusiasts, I work with a group called Ensemble Robot (www.ensemblerobot.org) that performs original music with electromechanical, MIDI-controlled ...
You have a gross motor to load inertial mismatch which makes the servo loop unstabilizable. Use reduction gearing between the motor and load. The reflected...
Hello all, Brand new to this group, so please excuse my ignorance. I'd like see if there are any websites that show the G201-3 stepper drivers in an enclosure...
Ian, I have some information on my web page. Robert Colin Campbell Bob Campbell Designs www.Campbelldesigns.net Mach 2/3 breakout boards Relay boards Spindle...
I need to build a CNC machine for my Thesis. I've been sourcing for stepper motors and stepper motor drives. It looks like G203V is good matching of what I...
All is not lost. You can drive the motor with a speed control; a good one can regulate motor speed to +/-2% of full scale. It will not give a precise speed but...
Hi - didn't find this in my manual, and I'd liek to verify that they are within spec when running... What are the operatign temp specs for the G340? Dave...
I am trying to control the G100 with a Parallax Javelin stamp through vinculum VDIP module. I have been able to setup the serial UART connection but I am...
Hi all, I'm currently reviewing the design and features of the DigiSpeed-GX. I'm considering putting a couple of small SMT relays on the board. These are rated...
Hey Mariss, My motors: http://www.xylotex.com/StepperMotor.htm A ways back, you said: Those motors will turn as smoothly as servos. Use about a 48VDC power ...
Hi, I have any one question. My Cnc system is: -Mach3 with Grex -3 G320 -3 servo 2700 rpm. -Encoder US Digital E5S-250-250. Now Mach is set 6858 mm/min and it...
