Servo Controller Choice and Transformer Question
Well.... I finally got around to picking a servo controller for the servos. I got paid for a small mold job on one of the mini mills yesterday, and today I ordered 3 brand new G320X servo controllers. I went with the G320X because of availability and price. This will help keep the price of 4th axis assemblies reasonable. That and the simple steps you guys mentioned reducing the secondary output on my 230/60V transformer.
Now to look over the "dump" circuit diagram again.
Hopefully I can pick up encoders soon.
Speaking of transformers... after unwinding your transformer what did you wrap it with when you were done ? My dad suggested cloth friction tape. He was an electronics tech in the airforce, and has done electrical and electronics work ever since. Friction tape my be a pain to get through the frame and wrap. Probably have to do it in pieces if I go that way.
Another thought I had was to go with fiberglass woven cloth. I have some left over from another project along with both epoxy and poly resins. Just not sure how hot the transformer gets. Epoxy resin will melt or burn from a basic butane flame. Not sure about poly resin.
Any suggestions?
