Buying advice

[GregS]

I have a desktop mill that needs a new driver board.

I am looking at the G540, but have some questions with the current PSU and steppers.

Motors: (4) LIN 4218l-01-10 (2A/Phase 2.6mH/Phase)
Note: X-Axis requires 2 motors for a total of 4 motors.

PSU: MEAN WELL PSP-600-27 (27V 22Amp)

Is the current PSU too much for the steppers/g540?

Any reservations against this setup? Anything is replaceable, however the Nema 17 size must remain the same.

The steppers and G540 will only use as much amps as they need. You could have a 27volt, 200amp supply and the Gecko and motors would still only use as much as they need. Like your common house light bulb. There is a 20 amp capability, but it uses ~1/10 of an amp to light.

If you are looking for an excuse to buy a new power supply though, I'd buy one with a lot more volts. The 48v. 7.3A ones are ideal. More volts means a slower power drop off as the motor spins faster. You WILL notice a difference with more volts.
