Hi Linux cnc users,
I am very new to linuxcnc and I am trying to design a robotic arm by using linuxcnc g code. Please can someone tell me cheap but fairly reliable stepper motors and controllers to buy?
I was thinking to by controller box from Hon kong TB 6600. Is anyone using this controllers ? How reliable they are?
My rough idea of the robotic arm is as follows.
1. 2 kg product on the conveyer grab by the gripper drive by a stepper motor Z axis ( I like to use nema 17 if I can)
2. Then rotate the product 30` angle one turn by two stepper motor X and Y axis ( I like to use nema 17 if I can)
3. Then place the product on the conveyer. Machine run relatively slow about 6 to 7 seconds for a cycle to complete.
If anyone have information where to buy reasonably cheap and reliable stepper motors and controllers please let me know. much appreciated.
Thanks

I tend to use eBay. what works best is likely to depend on where you are (Looks like Australia?).
eBay or AliExpress imports from HK are probably your best bet.
