I'm good at worrying :)

Thanks for all the responses! After using it for around an hour and a half yesterday, I could still hold my hand on it for around 15 seconds before needing to stop.

But to settle my curiosity, is...

That's correct, I was using a 24v power supply. The new driver plugs into a 110 AC outlet, but does it really deliver that much to the motor? And if so, am I looking at ruining the motor?

Old X axis, Y and Z: KL23H286-20-8B wired bipolar parallel to KL4030 drivers.

New X axis: KL23H2100-50-8B wired bipolar series to a KL11080 driver.

Anything faster then about 90ipm results in a...

Awesome, thank you for the input. It seems I need to gather some more info about my steppers!

Even at an idle? I can start it up, let it sit with zero movement, and in about 5 or 10 minutes it's pretty warm. Also, why would the other motors be stone cold, even after movement?

Thanks for...

So we have a new x-axis stepper that we expected to be more powerful than the previous, but something seems off. The old X axis (and the current Y and Z axis), 425 oz in NEMA23 wired in bipolar...

I'm using a C10. The wiring is quite close together, but I'm doubting signal noise being the issue as it only occurs when backlash is enabled. I think it's normal behavior that I just never noticed....

Thanks again, I'll be sure and check. The oddity is that the x axis is bumping when the y axis changes direction.

Thanks for the reply! So I was able to isolate the problem to the motor. Interestingly enough, the whole thing goes fine for about 5 minutes after power up. Shortly after that, it goes sour....

Hello! So we built an LMS X2 conversion a while back. Pretty proud of it, as we've done everything from scraping the ways to reinforcing the column. We use a CNC Fusion kit with three 425oz in...
