Hi Luke, just went through your build. Very impressive!
You got me thinking about my steppers and drivers at 36v.
I was happy/content with the old machine, but this is a new game here.
The steppers I have, have a very high inductance of 6.8hm and was speed limited at about 120ipm. (1/2" double start, 0.2 lead, leadscrew)
I think it is time to upgrade after all. So I've compiled this:
Dual Shaft Nema 23 Bipolar 3Nm (425oz.in) 4.2A 57x57x114mm 4 Wires
Digital Stepper Driver 2.4-7.2A 18-80VAC or 36-110VDC for Nema 34 Motor
60VDC/10A Switching CNC Power Supply (110VAC/220VAC), KL-600-60
- Only thing is that this driver says its for nema 34? (I'm sticking to nema 23s)
- Would the 60v 10a PSU be enough to power these drivers/steppers?
- Most info seems to point at 50v tops for nema 23s?
Just spotted this: 4 Axis CNC Router Kit 3.0Nm(425oz.in) Nema 23 Stepper Motor & Driver DM556T
