Drive train Pulses
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2024 2:33 pmI looked for a heading that said dumb questions but could not find one, so...
OK my Proxxon ff500 has a direct coupled stepper motors on x and y that have 1600 pulses per rev and a pitch of screw of 4mm so for 1mm of travel I need 400 pulses?
On the z axis the stepper motor is coupled via a toothed belt and the ratio is 1:2, 2 being on the screw which also has a 4mm pitch, so does that mean I now have 800 pulses per 1mm on this axis?
