Hi guys. I was tooling around in my shop today and ran across an old indexer driven with a stepper motor (see picture). There are no markings on the motor to give me a clue about it.
I do know that it has 8 wires coming out of it.
What sort of testing can I do on this motor to determine if it works before I invest in another drive and power supply?
How do I determine what sort of driver I need. Does an 8 wire motor require a special driver?
The rest of the motors on my build are Leadshine Easy servos so I would like to stay with a Leadshine driver.
I see on their website they offer a selection of drives. How do I select one without knowing the particulars on this motor?
I guess as a last option I could just ditch the motor and go with all new motor and drive.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Rob
