General Mach Discussion / Spindle setup - help
« on: February 28, 2008, 07:27:08 PM »
Hi -
I have a mill conversion on the go -
What is the preferred interface for the spindle speed control ? (step/dir or pwm)
It has a servo motor on the spindle - does anyone know if I can drive this with a gecko servo drive (or will it not go fast enough) ?
The servo is about 60volts and 500 step rev encoder
And what is the max number of steps a second that mach3 might do ?
Best regards
