If the motors are rated 3 amps, you want to set the current to 3 amps or less, not 3.2 amps.
Hello, everyone.
I hope everyone is in good health and being safe out there
Can some one look over my UCCNC Setting for Stepper motor on AXIS-X,-Y,-Z
I hive upgrade my 6040Z from the small stepper motor is had, To LONGSMotor & Stepper Driver.
So the Stepper Motor i got:
Nema 23, 425oz, 3A, 1.8deg/step 23HS9404B dual shaft.
Stepper motor driver:
DM542A, PEAK 4.2A, 128 micsteps
Power Supply:
3X- MEAN WELL Single Output Switchable Power Supply, 349.2W 36V 9.7A - LRS-350-36
The DIP switch setting on stepper drive are below:
SW1 SW2 SW3 SW4 Peak/RMS
Off ON OFF OFF 3.32 / 2.36
SW5 SW6 SW7 SW8 Pulse/rev
OFF ON ON OFF 2000
The previous setting factory default that came fron LONGS where:
Peak/RMS Pulse/rev 2.84 / 2.03 1600
With these setting the motor where moving rough, Instead of smooth.
The picture's below showing AXIS setting from uccnc, Want to make sure that the motor's are
tuuned correctly.
Thanks

What's the inductance on those motors? Their performance really depends on that, especially at the top of the speed range. It's a rare 23-frame stepper that runs really well on 36 volts; most have too much inductance for that.

That's the way they came from LONGSMotor, they sold them with 36v power supply. when i email they support team.( they stated, that's configurtion for those stepper drive and Motor's each driver and moter use it own power supply 36v @ 9.7A. They also said NOT USE ONE power supply to Drive all three motor&Drive, because One Drive and Motor draw between 6A to 7A total. if you want to use one power supply to drive all 3 motors & driver you need a power supply rate 48v @ 20A something like this https://www.amazon.com/Rail-Power-Su...809620&sr=8-28) This is they recommendation.
Sorry, i wasn't paying attention to the question at first. here's what i know so far about these motor's.
NEMA 23 Stepper Motor
Model: 23HS9430B
Step angel:18°
Motor Length:115mm
Rate Voltage:6.4V
Rate Current:3A
Phase Resistance:2.1?
Phase Inductance:9mH <-----------
Holding Torque:425oz.in
Lead Wire No.:4
Rotor Inertia:0.89kg.cm²
Motor Weight:1.55kg
Stepper motor driver DM542A
Input voltage:18-50VDC
Input current:<4A
Output current:1.0A~4.2A
Consumption:80W
Internal Insurance:6A
Peak 4.2A, 128 micsteps
The power supply that came with them was not able to handle the three motors and the drivers at the same time, so I when got three low profile 36v@9.7A for one driver+motor. The previous power supply was not enough power to drive all three I kept losing steps and jamming and power supply overheating.
That's a lot of inductance. There's a formula for calculating the optimum voltage you need to supply to a motor of a given inductance, in order for it to run best at top speed. Multiply the square root of the inductance (in this case, 3) by 32; that gives you 96VDC. If your power supply gave your motors 96 volts of DC power each, they would run much better at the peak speed they're capable of. 96v times 21 amps (3 times 7 amps) assuming all three motors were drawing peak power) gives you 2016 watts, which you probably won't ever need, but is a point of reference nonetheless. It's more important to find drivers that can handle all the voltage your motors require, which won't be easy to do economically. You'd be better off swapping the motors for ones that have a lot less inductance.

The reason I change to these motors, because the previous motors that came with the 6040 was Half the size of these guys, they had less torque power @ 24v supply. It was recommended if I’m going to cut aluminum to get stronger stepper motors with a high torque and Driver to run them.
i was thinking to change the Stepper Driver to better Driver like., DM860T STEPPERONLINE CNC Digital Stepper Motor Driver 2.4-7.2A 18-80VAC. at the mean time i hive to work with i hive now.
I’ll be cutting The following materials.
Acrylic hard plastic
Aluminum
Small piece of metal
What I need now is help to fine-tune them. So can run correctly.
I don't see what's wrong from the video?
There's really nothing to "tune" with steppers. You just choose your microstep settings, velocity, and acceleration.

You dont hear the stepper whining. Also just about around the third cut it start to hesitate. And them it correct it self.
ill will upload another video so can hear and see closer.
DIP SW on the driver are set to 2.84/2.03 @ 1600.
Now on UCCNC software under axis setting X,Y,Z all set to
Step per Unit =1600
Valocity(Units/min) = 350
Acceleration(Units/s^2) = 100
Comp.Acceleration(Units/s^2) = 240
So would you say correct?
Do you have backlash compensation enabled?
Are the units in inches? If so, reduce acceleration to 50, and see if it works better.
Steppers make a lot of noises. That's normal.

I've had good results with those drivers and a 48 V power supply.
I run them at 20x microstepping (5000 pulses per rev)
But i always run steppers with a reduction drive which is probably required to get rid of the rough motion.

I think your steps/unit are wrong. What is the pitch of the screws? IF you have 5mm pitch screws, then the steps/unit would be 1600/5, or 320.
If the units are mm, then the acceleration is fine, and could maybe be even faster.
350mm/min is very slow, and should probably be set to 3000 or more.

The ballscrew pitch. Is the machine driven by ballscrews, or does it use belt or rack and pinion. You need to use the gear ratio when entering the steps/unit.
If the machine is not losing position, I'd say that the "stuttering" you are seeing is from the controller. That's not a stepper issue.

19" = X = 482.7mm
29.5" = Y = 647.7mm
5.5" = Z =139.7mm
So just find out that my 6040Z it's lettle different from other 6040 them other 6040z. The X Axis it's wider. Where other it about 15.4''
My measurement for X-Axis are 19'' = 482.6mm.
Don't no if it make a different. the extra 0.858'' = 21.80mm
This picture sample of my 6040 measurements
Pitch in metric is expressed by the amount of linear movement in 1 revolution of the screw. Example: one turn of the screw moves your axis 5 mm, so the pitch of the screw is 5 mm.
