Went hunting for stuff, and have identified some nice looking stuff. Rutex R990h2 motor drivers.. 200v @10 Amps looks like they should do the trick. They take step and direction inputs. As i understand i should be able to interface these directly with the printerport or motion controller. Where does the limit switches come into the picture, and can they also be connected to the printer port and thus controll the motors via the software, or should they be hard wired to the motor to cut it out when overstepping the line?
Does anyone know of good sources for ballscrews?
I have requested some quotes for motors, but if anyone knows of good deals to be had on dc servo's in the 40 in-lb range, please let me know
Best i go make some chips (by hand
)
