Accurate Strong Gantry

[Boyan Silyavski]

I was looking into the Hybrid servo from leadshine. There were some things that did not convince me:
-the price of drives and motors and all below combined cause at that price i jumped at top 400W second hand AC servos with drives.
-No AC, so still need a transformer, so rectifier circuit, ~45eur,transformer 80-90euro, time, shipping etc.
-basically the characteristics which are no better than normal stepper
-low encoder count

They could have gained me with absolute encoder for example.


I am not saying they are bad, just that according to me, and in my particular case, the servos seemed better option or stay with steppers. Still time will show, when the machine is ready.
