I am building a small cnc mill and would like opinions on which Gecko drive I should choose. I attempted to build my own controllers and at this point have given up on that idea. The wife is going to kill me if I make any more useless purchases on my project so I kinda want to get this one right.(nuts)
I already have the stepper motors that I intend to use. They are Keling Tech KL34H2120-06-4A, 1200 oz/in, 6A, 6mH, nema 34. Using the formula I found on the Gecko website it suggests that I use a power supply with about 78V. The motor is listed as 6A, does that mean it is 6A per phase? (I'm kinda new to this whole thing)
I am thinking of going with 203V's and running between 50-70V. Like I stated above the maching is kinda small so I will not need killer rapids. I am not sure if the 203V is the best choice. I am hoping some of you Gecko guru's can correct me if I am about to make a mistake with to 203V's.
I doubt it will make a difference but I will be using my Mach3 to run the setup.
