Title: How do I configure 4th axis gear ratio?
Post by: replicaprops on August 29, 2006, 05:17:13 PM

I told the a axis to go 360 and it went 600

I have a 72 to 1 ratio on my rotary table and a 3-1 raitio on my servo to the pully, so that makes it 216 to 1

Oh and where would I adjust this ratio in mach 3
Thanks
Rob

never mind I figured it out.
I changed the steps per in motor tuning to 600 and that fixed it.
For some reason it was defaulted at 2000 so I changed it to 2500 and told it to go to 10. It went to 50 so I realized that I needed to divide that by 5 to get what I really needed.
