Thank you Tim

The real problem is that I have no idea what the steppers are (amps /
volts). I don't want to harm the steppers with to many amps and I am
a servo guy that has done very little with steppers. So do you know
what type of speed (IPM) I should be getting from the machine?? I
would be very happy with 100IPM But if I have less that is okay.

Thank you and I will read the white paper
