So Im pricing a full setup to completely update the electronics. Motors, drivers, control boards, power supplies etc... I'm a newb so if I come across as dumb.... I am.
The motors on it are 2.1v 8amp motors with a holding torque of 840 Oz in. I'm looking at setups that have 1600 oz in of holding torque, with 5v at 6 (ish) amps. The motors themselves look smaller, but torque is torque. There is no reason those motors wouldn't do well right? If someone asked me that, I would say "absolutely they're fine", but where I'll be coughing up actual money, I want to be sure. Also I plan on removing one to check the what shaft these have so I can replace it correctly.
This is the setup I'm thinking. Give me thoughts, opinions, disclaimers.....
3 1600 oz in (possibly 1841 nema 34, price is similar) stepper motors with drivers as a package deal. 6.2 amp
3 Power supplies: 60v 8amp
6-axis USB ethernet control board compatible with. Mach 3
I want to get Mach 4, will it be compatible with that control board? I don't know why it wouldn't be. Just covering bases.
