Hi Guys,
I recently purchased G203 V Gecko drives that having 10Microsteps...
My setup for X and Y axes:
Motor= 1.8 degree= 200Steps
Belt Reduction: 3:1
Ball Screw : 5TPI
Gecko Microstep: 10
Steps/Inch =200 x 3 x 5x 10 =30000 Steps/Inch
I am running my 1GHz processor computer in 35KHz mode.
Now, after automatic tuning in Mach3 i got 35456.256steps/inch for X and Y axes and 75256.235 steps/inch for my Z-axes.
My speed at X and Y is now limited to 70IPM and for Z axis its more low.Unfortunately, on Gecko the Microstep values is not adjustable... but the drives works great:)
Somebody tell me can i increase the speed without change in Hardware?
If I convert the Steps/inch into Steps/mm can i able to increase the speed?

Change the kernel speed to 45Khz, but you may need a faster PC for that. Or, get a Smoothstepper.

Hi Gerry,
I am thinking of adding 1:1 pully ratio;).. I have read that Backlash compensation is not supported by Smoothstepper .. The next step is up-gradation of the Processsor:)

Backlash compensation is not supported by Smoothstepper

Fix the machine then no need to worry about backlash compensation
