General Mach Discussion / Stepper motor power supply
« on: April 27, 2008, 08:07:04 PM »
Hi
First post here and have a question on selection of a power supply for my bench top mill.
I am using a 3amp stepper3 3 axis control with 304oz 6v 2amp unipolar steppers.
Everything is wired and working,now my question is, what voltage and amp power supply would
you guys recomend?
I have read in past post art saying 60% amperage of all three motors.I have used 12v 10a with ok results.
In stepper3 manual 24v seems to be the max.
This is my first cnc project and I am planning on buying another 3axis control board but for now trying to squeeze
a little more out of this one.
Thanks in advance!
