stepper motor, driver, and ball screw to controller configuration.

[GOKane]

Hi Everyone

was wondering if anyone has the same stepper motor, driver and screw configuration that I have.
I am having a hard time figuring out correct axis configuration in my Masso controller (it is a new cool cnc controller it works like Mach 3) ... ?

1. My x axis and my y axis’s are 852mm total thread length, with a 5mm lead, 480mm travel ball screws.
2. My Z axis is a 150mm total thread length, 2mm lead, 100mm travel ball screw.
3. My stepper motors are all: Nema23 57BYGH115-003B DUAL SHAFT 3A 425oz-in 115mm 1.8degree 2Phase
4. All drivers are same as longs… DQ542MA drivers.

If any one knows the best dip switch settings, homing and x, y, z axis calibration settings it would be of great help. I am still in need of help with this.

For all 3 axis’s

1. Motor: distance per revolution: in mm -( I have the X and Y leads at 5 mm one revolution?)
2. Drive: pulses per revolution… I know this depends upon the dip switch settings. I am not sure what is the optimum.??
3. Max feedrate: in mm: (I can’t seem to find what is best)
4. Acceleration mm/sec?2: (I can’t seem to find what is best)
5. Travel min: in mm: (I have at 0.00 mm)
6. Travel max: in mm: (I have put x and y at 450 mm to be safe?)

Please see the image attached for the specs on the motors, drivers and ballscrews?

The thing is, I am new to CNC I need all the help I can get.
thanks in advance to anyone who can help me ya-all!
