G251 GeckoDrive Rotary Table Test

My new G251 Gecko Drives. (Baby Geckos) I got this rotary table from a friend. It was used in conjunction with a robotic arm for educational purposes. The motor is a 75oz-in stepper motor wired for bipolar parallel running at 1 Amp 44 Volts. To give reference to the size of the drive, the disc on the rotary table is 9 inches in diameter. They are Tiny! Signal source is Mach3. 1 rev of the disk is equal to 1 inch of movement. Timing belt reduction from stepper to output shaft is 6.1111111 (110:18)

Movement starts at 10 revs a minute increments up to 200 revs a minute.

Cool video. Is there a manuf. name, model name, model number or brand name of the rotary table?

There is absolutely no information printed on the product. I got it from a friend and he dose'nt know where it came from. Sorry.

can't believe that it didn't stall...how does it do under load?

are there any good tutorials on gecko drivers for no0bies? i've got this hunk of metal with 3 stepper motors attached to it. I take it that I'd need one of these G251 devices for each motor? could i control 3 of these with a serial port + labview, or do i need something else?
