General Mach Discussion / Re: Different use of Mach3 (dispensing)

« on: April 14, 2009, 04:52:20 PM »

Hi George,
I think you are correct,
power supply needs upsizing,
2 jobs I have done to date,
found best to oversize by 10-20% of
the max current per drive x number of drives,
we have 4x 6 amp motors, power supply is 30 amp,
this help when braking heavy loads as power ploughed back in
on deceleration has somewhere to be absorbed,
some good info on the Gecko site.
Great machine/idea
regards

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 4.0 Rev Update

Hi brian,
this sounds good, I am new to the forum, so forgive me if its a dumb question.
I have got used to relying on the Shuttlepro for jogging,
when Mach3 4.0 is released, will it be long before plugin for Shuttlepro will work with it,
or is it a plugin rewrite?
Thanks for all hard work,
regards
Peter
