re:Re: re:microstepping speed?

Terry,

Use the gecko multiplied drive. Your app is what it's made for...
What drives are you using now? If maxnc, you will see a HUGE
improvement in speed. Less, if you have one of Dan M's boards.

P.S. Is your 1/2 step drive "compensated"? Does it increase amps
while on the 1/2 step? This may be part of your problem.


I am using Maxpro step and direction software.
I am using a rack and pinion feed arrangement and the pinion is about
1 in dia, this gives me about .007 per step with a half step
controller. I am happy with the rapid move rate but would like to
smooth out the feed controlled moves especially for climb cutting.
Would the G201 give me a smoother feed rate without loosing too much
rapid rate?
Thanks Terry
