Advice on converting my VMC

[JAZZCNC]

Ok first lets drop the Jazzcnc just call me Dean others do and I don't mind.

Thanx Jazzcnc for advice and comments :-)
And yes, i am a member of CncZone as well. There are some Norwegian members there, and i like to hear all those different opinions ;-)

Nothing wrong with the Zone just little unwieldy and state biased.!

I did send Automation a mail last night asking why the they list KL-8056D for "up to +7Vdc", when the datasheet say +20 to +80Vdc.
If what i have read around is correct, the KL-8056D is a re-badged Leadshine DM870. And Leadshine says +20 to +72Vdc in their datasheet(found that out today)
Dissapointing and very confusing, but this fact eliminates the KL-8056D.

Exactly why shouldn't rush onto buying before doing the home work. Very easy to buy wrong stuff.

What about the MA860H? Does anybody have any experience with the MA860H ?
Leadshine datasheet says input voltage of max 80Vac or +110Vdc, 7,2A. Price 58,88 on steppers-online.

These are Analog drives not digital. Analog is Old tech best avoided and don't compare to good digital drive.

If you want AC Digital drives then there's model AM882-H

I do have a lot of experience with PSU(both switched and lineary) Jazzcnc, and having a larger than necessary PSU only ensure less voltage drop at high loads.
Besides i want to have enough for the 4th axis.(might even put in the 5th axis in time if i get if i get excessively geeky ).
And beleive me Jazzcnc, i have searched the entire Norweginan marked for parts to build it my self. That will cost me twice as much.

You can't have voltage higher than than drives Max else you'll blow the drives up. infact you don't want the voltage near the drives Max you want it approx 10% less.
Now Current is different matter and I was talking about voltage.!

I'm very surprised you can't find toridal Transformer and 3 x capacitors cheaper than $200.!!

The reason for me choosing Nema34 motors is only because it has Nema34 motors originally. (Lacy me, don`t have to manufacture new mounting brackets)

No better reason required.!
