A business machine that can feed a sheet of bond paper, and have it curl at the registration rollers to have the curl hit a micro switch, to activate a solinoid to cause the registration rollers to have one complete turn. The ream of bond paper then increments upward activating a timing motor to exactly replace the vacant space from the fed paper. The scan of the optics after the paper reaches the apature plate, activates when the lead edge hits the micro switch and the scanner will scan. All the consumer needs is the liquid copier process.
Interesting. . . For simultaneous 3 axis motion, is the timing of each axes controlled such that axes are in sync? (Movement end at same time)? Pretty useful for building a 3axis gantry type machine like cnc mill or 3D printer (although would be nice to have support for one more axis).
Hello so excited to use the new feature I am just wondering for position move what dictates target position is this based on motor run time like for example stepper motors have steps per mm so then you know if you give it so many steps that it will move this amount of mm but if I wanted to move to a target position let’s say five inch’s away how would I do so? Thanks! :)
Hey Zachary. The movement would be based upon pulses. For example lets say that my stepper motor has 100 pulses per rotation and 1 rotation of the motor makes 100mm of travel on my machine. Now if I want to move 5mm I would send 5 pulses to the stepper motor. If you want to do this in inch you would just need to convert this equation to inch

If "FL2000" makes the motor rotate a full rotation in the clockwise direction, what code would make the motor make a full rotation in the counterclockwise direction?
@Tristan, FL2000 will command the stepper drive to move the stepper motor forward 2000 pulses. The drive can be mapped with 2000 pulses being different number of motor rotations. In your example the drive will be set to 2000 pulses/revolution, so an FL2000 will lead to a single revolution. If the drive was set for 200 pulses/revolution, a command of FL2000 would be 10 motor revolutions. The Feed to Length command (FL) is a relative move, so you can put a sign on it. FL-2000 would rotate the motor counterclockwise in your example. Find the SCL manual here: cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/surestepmanual/scl_manual.pdf Thanks for the comment!

Rakshith, Yes the movement of the 3 axis is in sync with one another. Interpolation motion.
