Also, would you ever consider putting a recommended Mechmate package together? ie- steppers/servos, drivers, power supply, etc. Just food for thought....

I've already asked...

I was recommended the http://www.kelinginc.net/KL34H295-43-8B.pdf, it has the same holding torque as the vextras in unipolar. And for drivers, surprise surprise, geckos...

Glad to know bugmenot, I'll probably stick with the Vextras anyhow. I feel more comfortable going with something that's already been out there and working.

Goin to order 3pcs KL34H280_60_4A for X and Y and KL34H260-60-4A for Z on the mechmate. This one's gonna be a true mechmate not the one with servos. but with steppers and gecko's 203v and a break out board from CandCNC.com

What say all!

Conrado,

Those are really large stepper motors. Large stepper motors have lots of resonance, meaning that they run rough (hard to tune). Four motors @ 7.8A = 31.2A, so the 20A power supply will not fully meet your needs.

Most CNC router operators prefer a geared (mechanical or belt-driven gearbox/transmission) to reduce the amount of "chatter". I've used both a 3:1 belt-drive and a 7.2:1 mechanical gearbox on my CNC router. Both are vastly superior to running a 1:1 (non-geared) stepper.

If I were you, I would look at a more moderate sized stepper motor that produces between 400 and 600 oz*in holding torque. For the fastest response, pick a motor with a low inductance rating. 1.5mH to 3mH motors are better than motors with a higher inductance rating. Motors with a 1.5mH rating would require a power supply with 40V maximum. (32 X SQRT(inductance)) = MAXIMUM voltage. I would also consider using Gecko stepper drivers (G203v). Finally, if the motors that you select aren't available with a gearbox, I would absolutely build a belt-drive transmission (3:1 or 3.6:1).

Your costs might be about 20% higher for the steppers and the stepper drivers, but you would have something that others have used successfully.

Conrado,
Also start a personal thread and then you can post questions related to your build there and we can add posts there when you have other specific questions. Like power supply voltages and gearing and .....
