Can I use a rotary?

Post by woodworker48 »

I have a 4 axis controller, 4 stepper motors, can I wire or connect the two "Y" axis motors together somehow so that I can use a rotary? what about the power to the "Y" motors? would this be an issue?
Thanks for any replies

hi gary

yes you can hook the four motor... your controller program will decide which motor is driven
in mach to the 4th axis you can call A or B

the mach guide will help you..

there should be four separated amplifier... for them you can hook one-one motor
