About the heat. We have tested too much, if you motor generate heat much higher than 70 degree, we would say your motor is bad one or bad condition.
Our Stepper Motor Controller with aluminium heat sink enclosure and thermal grease and so on for heat dissipation, the controller itself generate little heat. |

Uirobot, does that mean your stepper driver can take 60-70 degrees C day in and day out on the back of a NEMA 34 body stepper? Isn't that pretty close mil-spec thermal ratings? I know mil-spec rated PLCs have to be able to take 70 degrees for a set amount of time but not indefinite. My OM 7.2 geared 296 motor runs at about 50-60 degrees easily in the summer time. My Geckos in a well ventilated cabinet hums along at about 40-45 degrees when the ambient temperature is about 33-35 degrees C. I don't know of too many electronic goods being able to take that kind of punishment long term.

Stepper Motor Controllers User Manual are available in English.
I like this wonderful forum, I am a fishing website owner I wrote on my website that I'd think a forum to spare spams the best way is setting a area for ads. In my eye you and I will find some related ads are useful.
Sorry, a little far away. Our English website is coming soon, now the User Manual of our stepper motor controllers are available in English. If you wanna take a look, please write me letters to tiger@uirobot.com |

Hello Bradm, First thank you for your question. Our stepper motor controllers are integrally mounted onto motor through corresponding flanges. If your motor have rear shaft, a "L" type flange will be needed. To control many motors at different Axis, you may adopt our CAN protocol stepper controller. A CAN/RS232 Converter is needed here. One Converter could at most connect to 112 motor at the same time and then be connected to your computer, you give out orders, we have Global Command so you can drive your motors synchronous. Also you can drive one by one. UIrobot Tiger Huang tiger@uirobot.com |

Thank you for your feedback! Our UIM 240 Series may do all the work Geckodrive can do. UIM 241 with RS232 and UIM 242 with CAN will different from theirs. UIM 241 and UIM 242 Series are standalone, you don't need an extra controller to control driver. We can control at most 112 motors at the same time using UIM 242 Series and the CAN/RS232 Converter. I am glad to send you our User Manual if you wanna know much more. Thanks again. UIrobot Tiger Huang tiger@uirobot.com |

Uribot, would you be willing to post a video of your drivers working (mounted on the back of the stepper) with nema34 steppers running under Mach3?
|
#41
|
|||
|
|||
I am sorry that we cann't run under Mach 3.
|
#42
|
|||
|
|||
Don't you have Mach3 or is your drivers not capable ? Mach3 takes in standard G-code. I not understand.

Kobus, as suspected above, it appears that these drivers will not accept a simple step/direction signal. They can be controlled via RS-232 or CAN bus. Both of those are too slow to transfer the pulse train that Mach3 and/or EMC2 generate.
There's an outside chance that with serious software rework, someone could write a (software) driver for these that sent the higher order commands from the trajectory planner inside Mach3 or EMC2, but that would be a lot of work, and has not been demonstrated successfully in other attempts. The issue is that keeping the movements of multiple axis in precise synchronization while using a slow communications link is extremely difficult. |

I am not so sure. I think he is shoothing himself in the foot.

True, that would work, assuming you find a way to get the signals there.
|
#46

No problem, leave the controller in your box and only extend the motor wires like we do in any case.
This thing does not have to be mounted ON the stepper, even if it has the facility. |

they dont even need to be in the box

100 microseconds = 10,000 updates per second.
200 steps/rev stepper motor at 10 microsteps = 2,000 steps per revolution. 10,000 / 2,000 = 5 revolutions per second = 300 RPM on the stepper motor. Assuming 20 tooth, 20 pitch gear on a MechMate = about 3.14 inches per revolution. Times 5 revolutions per second is 15.7 inches per second or 942 IPM. That sounds good, until you factor in updates to 4 or more motors on that bus, and you're down to 235 IPM or less, and that's assuming perfect performance. And that is direct drive, and we generally have either gearbox or belts in the range of 3.6 to 7.2 to 1. So cut that down to 32 to 65 IPM. That's very slow. Even with a dedicated CAN bus for each motor, it's still only 128 to 256 IPM. Somebody check my math, I've been mistake prone lately |

Our UIM 240 Parallel Model is a driver, UIM 241 Serial and UIM 242 CAN protocol are intellegient controller, no need extra control card or so. UIM 242 can control synchronous 112 motors at most, who can make it. |

Do you have a model that will work with Mach3 and take step and direction pulses?

I found more info on the UIM24004 driver....the one that will take STEP and DIRECTION pulses.
http://www.slidesandballscrews.com/p...ish_%20_2_.pdf In the documentation is states: Low-Level pulse duraion should > 8 uS Max Pulse frequency is 50 kHz How does this compare to the Gecko ? |
