I'm having trouble calculating the right steps/AppUnit for the servo motors im using...
Can anyone demonstrate how to calculate the correct settings so the motors move the correct distance ?
my setup consists of the following:
· ADTECH servos - http://www.adtechen.com/products/ACH-09075BC%28750W%29-Middle-Inertia-Servo-Motor.html
· 3.2:1 belt reduction - CNCRouterparts pro rack and pinion drive - http://www.cncrouterparts.com/pro-rack-and-pinion-drive-nema-34-p-226.html
· 35 Tooth Pinion and MOD1 Rack
any help would be very much appreciated

Bloody hell Derick do you realise with 35T and 3.2:1 you have 34mm pitch and with 2000Rpm motors you'll be getting in excess of 68M/min rapids.!!! . . . Tread careful mate the bloody gantry will flying off the end in blink of eye. . .Lol
Ok well you have 2500 count Encoders which will be quadrature so x4 gives 10,000 pulse per rev.
Then workout your Pitch which is 35 x Pi = 109.599mm per rev / 3.2(ratio)=34.361mm per rev
Now Calculation is 10,000 / 34.361 = 291.026 pulses per mm.
Hope you have a nice fast motion control card because you'll need nearly 300Khz to get full RPM from those motors.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 17-03-2015 at 08:01 PM.

Yeah I will have to tame the beast pal. Nearly had one misshap when messing about with the speeds on the X with one motor disengaged and not slaved, I ramped the speed up a little and I capped myself!!
So if I enter that information I should get the correct movement when I enter movement in the MDI? For example: X100 F300 I should get 100mm travel at a feed rate of 300 correct?

I think so. I'm new to servos and was told to put what wires I have into the inputs :/ I will get some pics when I get into the unit this morn

OK with those settings Dean i enter X100 F300 in the MDI and it moves 150.5mm so something is still off lol

Ok well first the Servo drives are dealing with the encoders closing the loop at the drives and all your doing is sending it Step & Dir signals(pulses).
I did make a mistake when I said you'd get +68 M/min because I forgot about the ratio so RPM would be 625rpm at the pinion giving Max Velocity of 34.5 x 625 = 21.5M/min Rapids. . . BUT that would be with full 2000 rpm from motors which you won't get if 125Khz frequency. You'll only get 750(rpm) /3.2(ratio) = 234(rpm) x 34.5(pitch)=8085mm/min.
So really your wasting plenty of the motors potential and machine rapid speeds.
Why those figure didn't work I think can only be because your ratio is not what you think it is.?

Thanks Dean I've managed to get the machine moving exactly 100mm, i'm over the moon! However the software would not disengage the motors when I tured the motors off so I'm having a little trouble with that at the moment. Oh the joys of CNC (Completely - No - Clue) lol
