Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Servo Motors, Your Opinions Please

*NPC-02446 is certainly powerful enough. The only problem is that it
needs a lot of current. For full rated output it is going to need
something in the region of 25-30A. Gecko drives are limited to 20A.

The drives you are looking at are not suitable for machine control as
they have no feedback and can't accept step/direction input.
