Nice video, that would be what i would like ideally - feedback.
So The option is now ESS at about £150 and no feedback or CSMIO/A at about £490 with all the bells and whistles.
The motors I was looking at are from the same guy as in your video, drives the same too.
The 750W suggestion comes from the CNCZone where a builder mentions doing 30+ conversions of this type and always uses 750W, 1kw was too large and 400W too small.
He uses 1:1 or 2:1 but I favour 2:1 as I want to get the most torque I can and the machine won't handle massive rapids.
Ballscrew kits seem to be 5tpi so 5.08mm pitch
Question is - is the benefit of real-time position DRO worth the extra cash?Last edited by Davek0974; 14-05-2016 at 04:10 PM.
