I have the older 201's and even they are pretty good. Agreed about the quad. The best thing about individual Gecko drives is that you can mount the drive close to the stepper motor, so you are not running long wires with large currents.
----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Michalski Thumbs up on the G203V's from me - I already saved the cost of a drive doing a stupid thing and the drives don't even get warm with my heatsink and fan. I have read a lot about the quad pack coming out but I like my individual drives - if I manage to torch one (nothing is imposible) I only have 1 to replace. Kinda like when my boss insisted we get an all in one printer and then found out why I washed my hands of that decision... But John got it all correct to my knowledge. The only bad thing I have ever read about a Gecko is their servo drives are basically stepper drives and don't give you the benefits of a servo system. I'm running 53VDC on the G203Vs and getting great results - the motors never get beyond warm, even on complex engravings. I wouldn't do anything different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
