    Adding 2nd gantry motor

    I am redesigning my router and I currently have the following:

    (1) Power Supply: KL-210-24
    (3) 495oz Motors: KL23H2100-30-4B
    (3) DRIVERS: kl-4030

    I need to add a second motor for the gantry movement for the new design. Besides another motor what will I need? I've got all the mounts and everything taken care of, but will I need another driver or possibly a different power supply?

    Thanks,

    You will need to add another driver.

    The power supply will likely be adequate for your needs but it may not have a lot of "headroom" in its current rating. Your drivers will accommodate a power supply with a higher output voltage, which may permit you to achieve better torque at higher speeds, but it is not required.

    Thanks for the help and the fast response. The driver will get me up and running then I'll worry about the PS later.
