Ok first of all edit that last post and remove your number before you start getting strange phone calls from Hot breathers in middle of the night...Lol
PM stands for private message. If you click on my name near the union Jack you'll see a pop down box with send Private message option.
Looking at the Motor spec the inductance is low enough at 2.5Mh however I'm 99% sure your problem is the voltage. The larger motors require more volts to get the same speed as the smaller motors and you only have 24Vdc which isn't really enough for Nema 23 motors.
This means because you didn't change the motor tuning in Mach3 you are trying to get the same velocity as the old motors and the new motors can't acheive that speed so they are stalling.
If you lower the velocity in Mach motor tuning your stalling will stop.
However the correct solution is more Volts, Now however your drives become the bottle neck.? The TB6600 have a max voltage rating of 42Vdc but these drives are very flaky so you don't want to be running the voltage any where near this as they could blow up. I wouldn't be running these drives above 36Vdc.
So if you want to keep these drives then I'd up the voltage to 36Vdc. It will give you the speed back and should stop the stalling.
However if you want the best out of the motors then I'd replace the TB based drives with digital drives with minimum of 50Vdc running motors with 42-44Vdc. This will transform the machine. You'll get higher feed rates and much smoother motion.
Now regards the PSU then these are Regulated switch mode supplys and not really advisable for CNC use because of how the motors can send voltage/current back to drives/PSU when de-accelrating. They basiclly become dynamos and instead of using electricty they start creating it. These regulated supplys have built in safety circuits designed to stop this, so when they see it happen they shut down. For CNC you want unregulated PSU.
It will work, but if it starts chutting down for no reason this is why.-use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
