RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] beginners data on machine, software and servo selection

PS ?

Im sorry the list is truncating my URL's so just make sure to add onto
the end any "orphan" numbers on the same or next line.


Oh and BTW I used Timing pulleys and belts from McMaster Carr to link
everything together. 2 motor revs to 1 screw turn.
Also I just use the leadscrews that come with machine, and adjust the
leadscrew nuts and software backlash occasionally.

Good luck

In case this may help some people, especially beginners, here is my my
most recent experience. I bought a set of these motors from this guy on
E-Bay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=633&item=31052708
72,
used Gecko drives
http://www.geckodrive.com/item.htbml?order_id=0&item_id=G320 on my Rong
Fu Gearhead Mill drill from Enco http://www.use-enco.com/ and it all
works GREAT. I used this parallel break out board
http://www.pmdx.com/index.html which is designed with the gecko servo
drivers in mind and I use Arts Mach1 controller http://www.artofcnc.ca/
which is by far the best value for the money out there. I would have
bought this mill but it was not in stock at the time.

Hope this helps a bit, feel free to ask questions.
