Greetings- I’ve just had a y axis controller go bad and looking for a replacement part number. My table is older with the MicroStep driver that is only marked with 9-42 volts on it. I haven’t heard anything back yet from the helpdesk. Is there an Amazon part number that is recommended, or can Langmuir supply a replacement? I have not done any motor driver updates, so these are still the original ones that were supplied with the control box
Thank you in advance
Sorry, I don’t have information about the stepper motor but just making sure that you sent your help request to their email.
Search Amazon for TB6600 Stepper controller, you’ll find dozens of choices.
Thank you- Is this the high power driver that others have mentioned switching to?
No, this is the el-cheapo driver used on the original equipment that I thought you were looking for.
The better, quieter, driver that doesn’t randomly fail is a DM542 driver. However, you must change the wiring to the connectors and the DIP switches to get the same output current. Search this forum for DM542 wiring.
thanks- I wasn’t sure which one it was, it’s the el cheapo. I had one overnighted, tried it and was surprised at how the the new one was smaller and a lot hotter, so I also need to clean all of the rails to see if there is any binding.
TomWS- I’ve read your posts- thank you. I ended up ordering 2 DM542 for the y axis on the pro table. As mentioned in other posts, the jog is backwards. I’m thinking about swapping the positions on the A and B windings to restore the jog direction- any ideas ?
Got it working ! - I was able to fix the issue by swapping the positions of the A and B motor connections ( A to B, B to A )
