I am hoping someone can help me understand what some of my settings in mach 3 need to be.
The information I have about the ball screw is :
“The screws are metric 5mm pitch which works out to 5.08TPI.”
Motors:
NEMA 23 Frame,
KL23H2100-50-8B 570 oz In.
Hybrid Stepper Motor
1.8° /200 Steps Per Rev.
5 Amps Current ( Bipolar Parallel),
8-wire, Bi-polar or Unipolar 1/4" dual shaft
Driver:
Microstepping Driver Microstepping Driver
KL6050
The formula as I understand it :
Steps per rev (200) x microstep (
??) x TPI (5.08) = steps per inch
I cant seem to figure out or understand how to find out the actual steps, since the driver only has a ¼ or 1/8 switch selection.
Confused. Any help appreciated
