Are you going to use EMC with these? I figured my step rate would be
12,700 steps/inch based on the encoders I have (635 lines/rev) and the
.2"/rev travel of my ball screws. (635 X 4 X 5 = 12,700 steps/Inch).
At 50 ipm thats 635,000 steps/min for each axis. Do you think EMC will
be able to handle rapid moves of 3 axis' at that speed? I think my math
is right. If so, 1000 line encoders will require 1,000,000 steps/min at
50 ipm per axis.
