How Many Steps to Move a Table 1000 mm Using a Stepping Motor?

AI Thread Summary
To move a table 1000 mm using a stepping motor with a 1.8-degree step angle and a 5 mm/rev pitch, the total steps required can be calculated by determining the number of steps per revolution, which is 200. For half-step operation, this results in 400 steps per revolution. To achieve a speed of 6000 mm/min in full step operation, the required stepping rate is 600 pps. The calculations involve finding the number of revolutions needed for the desired distance and converting that into steps. The discussion emphasizes the need for a methodical approach to solving the problem rather than simply providing answers.

Determine the number of steps or pulses required to move the table by 1000 mm in half step operation.

Determine the required stepping rate (pps) to drive the table at 6000 mm/min in full step operation

Please help

This is obviously homework, so you should show some work and an attempt at a solution if you want us to help. It isn't ethical for us to do your homework for you.
 
o i know what you mean, but can i have some hint how to do it?
 
How many steps per revolution on the motor?
 
1.8 step angle
pitch is 5mm/rev
100 times mirco-stepping

thanks
 
1.8 step angle
pitch is 5mm/rev
100 times mirco-stepping
pulse signal 2000

thanks[/QUOTE]
 
Well, it seems to me you have everything you need.

  1. Find number of steps per revolution using your degrees per step value.
  2. Calculate steps/s for a certain rpm (using either your original degrees per step value or steps per revolution).
  3. calculate number of revolutions required to move a certain distance using your screw pitch.
