Group,

I bought AMP drives rather than go throught MK. AMP 7080's. I'm pretty sure
I paid less than what MK wanted. They are the source for MK's motors too.
Paid less for them too. I would not use MK power supplies as they overate the
transformer capacity. I found mine to be sagging quite a bit at rated load. I
checked the OEM label on the Xformer and found it was rated at 2/3rds or so
of what MK claimed it could do. In short, I stripped my drive rack and
installed larger AMP drives and went to a large ex phone company 48 volt and
50 amp power supply. Rock solid there. I still use MK software as I had a
product line already programmed and running using that software and it was
not worth the effort of changing it mid stream. If I was to do it again, I
would use Gecko 320 or 340, and CNC PRO.

<< Chris,

FWIW, the MK3535 drives are made by Applied Motion Products in CA.
They sell them under the 3535 part number.
