Post by: xjdubber on January 02, 2007, 08:34:47 PM

What do you guys think of their pricing on their stepper parts? I thought they were pretty decent and looks like should work pretty good. Any feed back apreciated, and yes im new here!

For a begginer Geckos are your best bet.  They will even replace one drive if you fry it.  And they handle some seriuos beatting.

Actually there is where my first experience with motion control came, worked on a Practical Cnc table, which the gecko drive failed on, and no they did not replace it for free. Very good people to deal with though and very helpful.

Never meant to say it was a bad price, theyre prices are extremly good. And i most likely wil end up going with them. Their G203V drives seem quite nice, i might get those.
