The Best Steppers/Servos Setup Thread

[battwell]

for anyone who has fanuc red cap servos in their triac- buy allen bradley drives cheap on ebay- they run step/direction perfect.
also have homing to marker pulse which makes perfect homing every time a doddle!
re homing back to exact encoder position is a feature too.- works as absolute encoder.
accuracy so far- momentary position error at max acceleration less than 8/10000 of a revolution!
auto commutating so no need for weird fanuc comutation signals too :-)
if anyone is stuck- i keep plenty in stock and can set them up here before dispatch (took a few days of head scratching to work everything out)

I have a boxford 250 with Fanuc OT and the red cap servos that i need to get up and running, would the Allen bradleys work on them too?

Would be interested to here from you if that is an option. cheers

PS sorry to hijack the thread

should be ok depending on voltage/ current of the motors?
give me this and i can tell you what to look for.

i used them to convert the machine to single phase. :-)
