Transformers and gecko drives

I have a machine controller transfomer hooked up to three Gecko 320
drivers. My question is would it be wise to hook three transfomers to
each drive or is this unnecessary. The transformer is hooked to 110
volts and puts out 24 volts ac. The amperage I'm not sure as there is
no rating on the tranformers. The output wire is about 12ga wire.The
cost of these are not a issue as I have at least 15 Transformers the
same
The motors are dc and rated top voltage is at 34 this is based on per
thousand RPM and amperage is at 20 amps.the size or rated torque for
x-y is peak torque 1.77 N-M rated .353 N-M, z motor is 1.06 peak
rated at.212. this info is from Minetia rm dc servos Ugrmem-02 I'm
not sure of the OZ -in. But when I run two axis at the same time the
motors or movement slows down, running one motors it spin faster.
I'm using Master 5 software and maxed the speed I want to up grade to
mach 1-2 But need bigger computer or Clock speed I'm presently
running a amd-k6 3d processor. The machine has ball screw drive The
pitch I'm not sure but one revolution moves .0200 and if I'm right
thats 5 turns per inch? I'm seting the machine to do 21/2 d carving
and would like good speed.
If I can perfect this My next two projects are to rebuild a Nc Elto
knee mill that is set up with steppers all 3 axis with ball screws
and a Sheldon 17" x 36" Lathe with Steppers on both axis factory
install same as the mill. The chopper drive unitfor them are much to
big and out dated But first get the Router to work.
Thanks for any help
