Hi Jazz
Thanks for your input. I had a look on a leadshine driver and the connections are more obvious. As i'm working on using the jmc intergrated servos the connections to the connectors all seem to be lowlevel (thin guage wire) apart from the 45 volts. It's also noticable by the size of the connectors on the built in driver the power connector has larger diameter contacts. Using normal drivers seems to be more flexible as each component can be selected, wheras the intergrated system while maybe neater on is fixed with driver and motor (although I hope they are properly matched?) I'm willing to give the JMC a test to see how everything works but i'm going to make sure the control box can be adapted for closed loop steppers of which I have a set from steppersonline. Just out of curiosity is 0.25 mm wire going to last longer in a drag chain than say 0.5 mm (thin wire being more flexible vs thicker wire which because of thickness would be stronger but more prone to fatigue because of it's thickness ? or because it's multi stranded wire the thicker stuff works better?
Cheers
