Seeking help with stepper motors
Hi,
I am a researcher developing a paste 3D printer to conduct research in our lab on non-planar printing of paste materials. I have decided to use the currently underutilized UR10 robot in our lab. For this purpose, I am modifying a mechanical paste extruder that I built previously. I am new to this and currently very unclear about the integration of external motors. For my paste extruder and auger system, I need to control 3 stepper motors. Let's focus only on the main motor that extrude the material in the extruder. I was thinking of using this NEMA23 Closed Loop Stepper Motor (https://www.oyostepper.com/category-...per-Motor.html). However, after reading some forum posts here about stepper motor integration, it seems I was wrong to think that this would be easy and I should consider other types of motors for my application. I was wondering if you have any recommendations for reasonably priced motors that would integrate well with the UR platform, or if there are any tutorials or guides I may have missed for someone just getting started with UR robots and third party motors. I think this is a very common question as I see people building rotary tables, linear guides, etc. I would appreciate some clarification on this subject. |
