First run of Stepper motors, 3-axis TB6560 controller and power supply.

First connection of electronic components after setting up Mach 3. All components bought from eBay. Test file loaded and started. The steppers are slow as no other settings apart from the input and output signals were touched.

Just have to finish drawing the CNC router to connect these all up to...

Excuse the shaky/dodgy camera work!!

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?

[n0bby5Utube]

@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!!

are those 6 wire steppers?



[mrmartyman7]

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

thanks

Keith.

@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.

[KeithWasHere1]

@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

@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?
