Re: [Emc-users] Maximum rate I can drive my steppers

The maximum velocity depends on the voltage and as Jon said testing for lost step is needed. For example look at the torque vs speed charts here http://www.automationdirect.com/static/specs/surestepmotors.pdf Also on the wiki is some formulas for steppers JT On 7/23/2015 7:42 PM, Tom Easterda

[Emc-users] Harmonic Drive HA-600-2 Driver Manual

2015-07-24 Thread Curtis Dutton
I recently acquired an HA-600-2 servo driver as well as a servo actuator that accompanies it. The only trouble, it didn't come with any wires, and no manual. I can't find it on the net and so far the HarmonicDrive people haven't gotten back to me about my request. Does anyone happen to have a pdf

If they have tail shafts, cheap encoders from US digital mounted on the back of them are the best solution.You can tie the f-error back into linuxcnc so you know exactly how much error has accumulated and can fault if its too much. I've gone through this very thing, and ultimately went to servos.
