@barfkill1 I've not hooked it up to my MC yet as not finished building it. If you want a fast CNC machine then oyu will have to spend some money on a decent driver, one that will take 48V plus. I think too many people expect too much from these boards. I just want it to get my machine running and cutting some parts so I can make RC Planes and Gliders!!
I emailed a supplier of the board and they make a .5 to 2.5 amp version of the same same board.
I have 3- .44 amp stepper motors I bought them used.
Will that .5 to 2.5 board drive them does anyone know ?
The supplier could not answer so I'm stuck on the controller set up on my cnc build here. my motors are RAPIDSYN AMERICAN PRECISION 23D-6137H 11.2VDC 0.44 AMP. Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Hey if anyone out there knows anything about the Pentar Dual stepper motor controller/dirver model SCD1 could you please drop me a line id appreciate the hell out of it
@KeithWasHere1 The link for my ebay purchase is too old to work now, bought them from someone in Bulgaria I think. These are 1.5A/winding 550g/cm torque Steppers. Not sure what you mean by phase count?
@n0bby5Utube most stepper motors are either 2 or more phases alot of the time you'll see 2 and 5 phases floating around....500gm-cm? damn thats kinda small...the Vexta pk266 can put out a good solid 10.3lbs (pounds) per inch in bipolar mode,and soemthing like 7lbs in unipolar mode 192oz-in =1 ft lbs
Looking at this video, I noticed that your motors are barely moving, yet Mach3 shows moving 1 or 2 inches. Your motors will need to spin more than 1 or 2 revolutions. Did you ever figure this out. I have the same board, I think diffeent motors and when I run a g-code file, they barely move as well, but when I jog in step mode they work fine. Was wondering if you encountered this and fixed it,
@HossHossHossHossHoss I thought theye were moving slowly but the G code was for a star shape on a CD so not that great a distance and if you followed the steppers and looked at the screen they were in sync. Not really run them since but I might not have had them calibrated correctly i.e. 3mm per rev for the pitch of my leadscrew.
@jamen23 Hi, if you go to CNC.com and type in MINEBEA Astrosyn 23LM-C355 and scroll down to post 10 you will find a link to a similar data sheet. I used that for the wiring and it worked ok for me!
Hi.I have the TB6560 from ebay.I am a little confused regrding the power supply.It says on the board to use 12/36v and a ground.Do i connect the + to 12/36 and - to ground? Im a little puzzled by this.Many thanks.Nice demo vid.
@bignaughtydog Thanks, I guess it depends on your power supply. I bought mine off ebay as well and I connect the +24V to the +ve and the -24V to the -ve. Hope this helps?
I also have this board and the cd came with one of the stepper motors sticking thru the cd. The people I'm dealing with just ignor me. The stepper motors are four wire red, blue, black and green. Could you please tell me where the wires go a+,a-,b+,b- thank you so much if you can. I hear lots of bad things with these boards. Do you have any problems? Nice video.
@minga86 sorry to hear your cd was broken, not sure what would have been on it? The wires will go as you said, however which colour to which terminal will depend on your motor. Have you googled the motor part number to find a data sheet as that will tell you. I got my steppers off ebay and did that which worked for me. Not done anything on this yet but planning on starting it again now I've finished my winter RC building projects!!
I have checked and rechecked my motor wiring and dip switch configuration for errors, and found none, but my motors on those axes act erratically when i press the jog buttons for them. If you would be so kind, please email or post your exact pin, wiring, and port configuration so that i can try to get mine working! :)
@fughilli What program are you using to control the board? I am using Mach3. What steppers are you using? I presume that you've got them wired correctly? Have a look on the CNCzone.com forum as there are quite a few threads going for this board. I've dismantled mine now so it's hard to tell you what I used. All I did was follow the instructions that came with it written in "Chinglish" I can send the instructions to you if you don't have them?
I have tried using both Mach3 and KCAM4. Mach3 works with the X and Z axis, allowing them to run properly, and KCAM works with all Axes, but only under the circumstance that the spindle relay is enabled... let me explain. The X and Z axes are functioning. However, the Y axis only works when I have the spindle relay on, and during movement, the spindle relay makes fast switches back and forth. I am not sure whether it is a hardware or software problem. I will check the website again. Thanks.
Due to the low character limit, i couldn't finish my thought.
The steppers I am using are 6-pin 2-coil MINEBEA motors. The product number is FH5-1024, type 17PM-J801-P1VS. The board is recommended for use with NEMA motors, but they are almost identical specs, and they were cheaper. I have tried rearranging the motors on the axes, and they still work, so the motors aren't the problem. The thing is, the Y axis motor responds to the commands to move it, but it just holds position and doesn't turn.
are those 6 wire steppers?

Hi
can you give me the manual for the driver ?
i´ve some problems with my y axis
thx

@MrNeoFromMatrix If you google TB6560 3 axis manual then you will get a link to the manual, it won't let me post the link on here.

What is your opinion of the board. I hear it is slow. Is that true?

whats the phase count and holding torque of your motors ..can you send me the ebay link id like to take a look at that kit.

KeithWasHere1 1 year ago
@KeithWasHere1 I've found some more specs:
Bipolar
Rated Current = 1.5 A/Wdg
Winding Resistance = 2.2 Ohm
Holding Torque = 6.2 Kg-cm
Inductance = 5.5 mH
Rotor Interia = 0.110 Kg-cm2
Detent Torque = 550 g-cm
Weight = 450 gr
I only need these for cutting balsa and 3mm ply max so don't need much power.

Can you tell me which wires are your A+, A-, B+, B-
Its a bit hard to see in the video. I have a few of the same stepper motors, and want to wire them up, but unsure of the wires to use.
cheers

Hello, n0bby5Utube,
I also purchased the same driver board :)
However, my X and Y axis are not working! :(
I have checked and rechecked my motor wiring and dip switch configuration for errors, and found none, but my motors on those axes act erratically when i press the jog buttons for them. If you would be so kind, please email or post your exact pin, wiring, and port configuration so that i can try to get mine working! :)
my email is: fughilli@yahoo.com
thanks!

i also have this board but for some reason the x axis will only run in one direction has any body had this problem ?
