Servos?
Yes
Then why exactly do you need gecko drives?
Seems all Gecko drives accept is stepper input, which is the basic
output
from EMC....however, Gecko also has drives which will drive a brush dc
servo.
Allows you to also toss the existing drives by eliminating the need for
additional DA converters or motion cards.
Actually EMC natively supports servo motors and analog amplifiers.
Cant find that at the moment then I guess..
lemme go downstairs get some numbers then
BRB
Motors :
Glentek GM 4040 motors brush dc with 7v/1000 tach and 2500 pulse encoder
What s the voltage, amp, and RPM rating of those?
I also have some fanuc motors size H002 with encoder but no tach
------
So far as amplifiers that I have on hand :
AMC 30A20
Glentek 4568
Servo Dynamics 1525
Fanuc A20B6045
All of these REALLY like to have a tach feedback but as far as I can tell
the the only one that ABSOLUTELY NEEDS it is the fanuc.
I would find out motor characteristics, and then I would look for a
drive that matches those to some extent.
