Hi Woodknack,
Looks like we are getting nearer to understanding each other.
My screwthread is metric - 1mm per revolution
That would make it 25.4mm in an inch, therefore 25.4rev per inch
With the Gecko 1/10 microstepping driver, 2000 microsteps per rev. it will take 2000x25.4 steps = 50800 steps to move 1 inch
The resolution (inch per step) = 1/50800 = 0.00001984
All the above calculations does not involve time, only distance move.
With DeskCNC I can get maximum 14 inch per minute.
this will be 14x50800 steps/min or 711200 steps per minute,
11853 steps per second.
What maximum feedrate inch per minute are you getting with the xylotex and DeskCNC combination?
What I am trying to do is to figure out if it is my driver of the DeskCNC that is limiting the maximum feed rate.
Thanks Woodknack for your time |
