    What's the gear reduction of the indexer, and what is your drives microstepping set to?

    Hi,
    For the gear reduction of the indexer it's a 10/1, and the microstep are set at 10.
    Thank you for your help

    10 motor turns x 2000 steps/rev divided by 360° = 20,000/360 = 55.55555 steps/degree
