This drive is covered by the longest warranty in the industry with 3 years, and offers full US support.
The power supply you select for your G540 motion controller is critical as it will provide the system's speed, and required amps to support all four of the G540's axes. My unit is designed in house to provide all the volts the drives require with a surplus of amps to assure your system's supported even if you decide to
expand your system to five, or six axes
with an
ESS
system here.

Your correct if you identified the Texas Instrument chip...
:)
The fan is controlled automatically by the ambient temperature of your electronics enclosure
Built in overload protection,
and automatic shutdown
.
The complete specs are below.
Also included is three of my Nema 23 600oz/in (
37.5in/lbs
) 3.5a
(3.9mh inductance) dual 8mm motor shaft
stepper motors for the most durability, and compatibility for system retrofits on the market.
I also include the matching resistors for the G540
.
These motors are the largest torque Nema 23 motors available. I designed these exclusively for use with the G540 to eliminate the need for purchasing Nema 34 motors to save my clients money when wanting to machine harder substrates.
These are the best solution for end users wanting to machine aluminum, steel, and all softer substrates.
The motor specs are below with dimensions.
This is the only engineered G540 motion control system online that features a 12.5a (600w) power supply as standard equipment as all should to support the 4 axes capabilities power requirements. Compare the other units on the market, and you will soon realize why my build lead times can be in excess of eight days. The typical overlooked details like including
Tripp Lite IEC power cord with Lifetime warranty, and 3 of my pro solderless connectors for ease of motor hookup integration, and servicing.
This version reflects my new REV2 model utilizing the
most advanced controller design for the G540 driver system to date,
featuring an
EMI coating applied to the electronics enclosure
.
This coating is used now as standard on all my chassis including the barebones system.
This Revision also features my custom built tinned braided copper shielded E-stop switch cable for the cleanest possible signals. The shielding drain of this cable is properly grounded to the chassis. The system also includes
three of my 20awg 13ft 300v, 80c temp rated
DOUBLE SHIELDED
motor cables made using signal cable for maximum durability, and flexibility.
These are the only double shielded cables offered for this drive on the market, and their included with every full system I build.
Please understand this system can be configured to suit your particular retrofit, and budget. I don't build "cookie cutter" systems, so if your looking to purchase this system, and have questions about using it with your system please message me. I can automate virtually any system pending your budget supports what your looking to accomplish.
Below is an overview video of me covering this system in detail.

These units can
easily achieve under .001 tolerances

He achieved a ridiculous speed increase as well.

I invite you to watch another video of a previous client of mine. He wanted a controller to automate a
16ft chassis
. He fabricated the table himself, and I handled all the motion control components. The controller he's using is a 6 axes custom UC-100 USB based system I built him for this specific chassis It uses 6 Gecko Drives G251x drivers.
These are the same drives inside the G540's black enclosure.

The system's build includes the following components assembled into your "turnkey motion contoller".
E
ach terminal of the system is soldered to provide the lowest possible resistance utilizing Kester 186 RMA
NO CLEAN
flux, and Kester #44 solder, and once completed each terminal is then insulated with
600v rated
heatshrink to provide the industry standard for safety
.
The wires 16awg, and 20awg (
E-stop has no voltage/current
) are then secured internally with wire ties, and adhesive backed hold downs for optimal neatness, and airflow.
