Thanks for the information. The mill ran well yesterday, finished 16 parts with no issues. After some discussion with the manufacturer we backed off the limit...
Kewl! We are operational. The download of Mach3.xml designed for Gecko worked on our configuration practically without modification. We are using older...
I would guess that you are using the G540 for the step motor drivers based on your statement that you downloaded the mach3.xml file. If you wire the motors as...
Hi Dan, Yes, I'm using the G540. I couldn't be happier. Thanks for the info below. I think I'm all set for my Gecko drives. I'm pretty sure I know what to do...
... One thing to keep in mind is that no matter how true your pulleys are and how straight your shafts are, there will always be a "tight" position and "loose"...
many thanks Paul T, i see belt drive under a whole new test method from what you said. will do as you said. i am thinking if i should not mount the pulleys on...
hi all, could you guys confirm my calculations. motors: 300 oz-in servo belt reduction: 15t to 44t ,(1 : 2.9333) rack and pinion drive pinion diameter: 26 mm ...
Tension of timing belts is adjusted like you tune a guitar string. Professionally we use a tool with a microphone and a scale adjusted for the tension. ...
yeah, i have FFT software. unfortunately,i have no idea of the tension/frequency relationship for the kevlar backed belt. sdp-si gave no info abt it....
Don't do that. While accelerating the motors will generate quite high peak loads on the belts. You don't want your spring moving. Just bolt your motor to a...
With belts between about 12mm and 20mm, as hard as you can pull seems to work well. Generally if the belt feels springy when you try to move it side to side in...
30kg seems pretty low to me. Most reasonable sized routers are pretty well unstoppable. I know of one that broke an engineer's arm without even slowing down. ...
Hello everyone, Can somebody advise or point me to application notes or other information as to the pros and cons of different types of brushless motors. I am...
its 0.375 inch wide,kevlar backing. i figured that i am not really driving that high force,and that most of the real strains are expressed at the pinnion to...
Motor power increases proportionately with supply voltage while iron losses increase as the square of the voltage. The cause of iron losses is ripple current...
... Is this a production requirement, or you just need a couple? If production, you can't beat stepper motors and drives for cost. They are also quite...
... I've never seen this on my reducers. But, then, I ALWAYS order the pulleys with undersize bores, and rebore them on the lathe. I turn rings first with an...
Hello, No, not space application. It is industrial, production. High reliability means running for years continuously without breaking down. Motors would be...
I picked up and interesting job for an application engineer. He needed an 8 axis system. After some dicussion of the stepper motors that he needed we agreed...
As long as I was mentioning the 8 axis G540 system I thought I post the pictures of the 6 axis G203 with a 1 KW power supply as well. This was another custom...
... If steppers can do it without running hot, then the steppers plus drivers should do the job. If these motors are required to run at 200 RPM for extended...
I wonder how hi reliability you mean. It seems the fact that DC servo's need some servicing has made them non viable for the need. However I have seen many big...
