General Mach Discussion / Re: How to configure two motors in one axis?
« on: September 18, 2007, 06:17:51 PM »
Hi Greg, Actually I want to know both cases:
(1) one lead screw, two motors "pulling the same way" (one CW at one end, and CCW at the other end).
(2) Two motors two leads pulling in parallel (for the same way).
Is your explanation for the first case (1)?
Hey Greg, by the way ¿What does X++ means in Mach?, maybe I skip it in the manual. Don´t foget that I´m a newbie.
Thank you Jovimon

The explanation above was for case (2) particularly the homing bit.
Case (1) You would want the two motors and drives to be perfectly matched and as Brett said drive them from the same step and direction pin
I'm sure it has been done but I would be wary of two motors driving one screw.
X++ I take to mean jog at GO speed or a percentage of it as set on screen
Greg
Thank you Greg
