Assumption: The step angle of the stepping motor is 1.8 degrees and selected a screw with 5mm pitch.
1. Steps Per - Please refer to the specification of the machine for finding the step angle data.
A. For millimeter unit use
1.
Pulses per revolution = 360 degrees/1.8 degrees = 200 pulses / revolution
2.
According to the CNC driver specification, the prescale of the CNC driver is 1/8 steps.
So, the actual value is 200 Pulses / revolution x 8 = 1600 pulses / revolution.
3.
The “Steps Per” value of metric = 1600 Pulses / revolution ÷ Pitch of the driver screw
= 1600 Pulses / revolution ÷ 5mm = 320 Pulses / revolution / mm
If the stepping motor is losing step or not smooth, please adjust the values of "Velocity" and the
"Acceleration"
B. For inch unit use
Method A:
1. Using the value of the “Steps Per” value of metric (320 Pulses / revolution / mm)
2.
The constant different between mm and inch is 25.4mm : 1 inch.
3.
So the “Steps Per” value = 320 x 25.4 = 8128 Pulses / revolution / inch
Method B:
1.
Pulses per revolution = 360 degrees/1.8 degrees = 200 pulses / revolution
2.
According to the CNC driver specification, the prescale of the CNC driver is 1/8 steps.
So, the actual value is 200 Pulses / revolution x 8 = 1600 pulses / revolution.
3.
The “Steps Per” value = 1600 Pulses / revolution ÷ Pitch of the driver screw
= 1600 Pulses / revolution ÷ 5mm = 320 Pulses / revolution / mm
4.
Number of revolution per 1 inch: For metric driving screw: 25.4mm ÷ Pitch of the driver
screw = 5.08
For metric driving screw: 1inch ÷ Pitch of the driver screw
5.
The “Steps Per” value = 1600 Pulses / revolution x Number of revolution per 1 inch
= 1600 Pulses / revolution ÷ 5.08 = 8128 Pulses / revolution / Inch
2. Velocity - Depending on what you want and the ability of your machine.
3. Acceleration - Depending on what you want and the ability of your machine.
4. Step Pulse and Dir Pulse - According to the CNC driver specification.
