Hello
I have an old cnc mill machine. I wuld like to throw away my stepper moters and fit on it servo dc or ac motors i havent decidet jet.
I wuld like to put mach software on it.
I know thet servo motor needs 2 inputs, direction and frequency to tell it how fast it must turn. and an encoder givs to computer the information how much did it moved for real, and in wich direction it moved for real. When a machine have to make a sharp turn, it still have some moment and it still is moving in another direction, that culd be a problem couse it culd make a little mistake and if you doo a loot of sharp turns it culd end up as 1 big mistake(or so i think)
couse when i was using stepper motors it was jumping steps, so i figured that culd be the problem or that i wanted too mill too hard metal.
My question is where can i read more on what output mach software gives i was looking over the manual and ther were detail info for stepper motors, but no detail info for servo motors, or does the step pin determin frequency and you just verify it with motor?
