Description

The TB6560 CNC 3 Axis Stepper Motor Driver Controller Board is a popular and widely used controller for driving stepper motors in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems, typically for applications like milling machines, lathes, and 3D printers. It supports up to 3 axes of motion and is typically used with Mach3, KCAM4, or EMC2 (now known as LinuxCNC) software for controlling the CNC machine

Feature:-

1. For toshiba TB6560AHQ chip – High power, maximum 3.5A drive current chipset
2. 1-1/16 microstep setting – Higher accuracy and smoother operation than standard 1, 1/2 step
3. Adjustable drive current settings for each axis – 25%,50%,75%,100% of full current can be set for different stepper motors
4. Overload, over-current and over-temperature safety – Full protection for your computer and peripheral equipment
5 On board current switching – Power output can be set according to specific user requirement
6 Full closed-type optical isolation to protect the user’s computer and equipment
7 Relay spindle interface – Outputs Max. 36V 7.5A for spindle motors or coolant pump (only one device can be powered by this output!)
8 4 channel inputs interface- Can be used for XYZ limit and emergency stop
9 Professional design – Two stage signal processing with super anti-jamming
10 Bipolar constant current chopper drive with non-resonant region – Controls motors smoothly through range without creep effect
11 Four control inputs (divided into pairs of knives) – Allows setting of limit and emergency stop
12 Universal architecture – Supports most parallel software MACH3, KCAM4, EMC2 etc!

Attention:

Power supply DC 12-36V (not included)

*Voltage Selection:

• 12-16V DC power supply for Nema 17 stepper motors
• 16-24V DC power supply for Nema 23 stepper motors
• 24-36V DC power supply for Nema 34 stepper motors
  (High voltage will burn up the chips or stepper motors!!!)

*Ampertage Selection:

• Output current of the power supply can be calculated by the following expressions:
• Output current = Rated current of your stepper motors * quantity + 2A
  (For example, if you want to drive 3 * 3A Nema 23 stepper motors, theoretically
• 24V 11A DC power supply is recommended, but higher power such as 24V 15A also will be good.
• If you are not sure about the selection of power supply, please feel free to contact us for help)
• The power output of 12V shall be applied to the radiator fan of 12VDriver output compatible with 2 or 4 phase, 4,6 or 8 lead stepper motors, 3A max.
• Suitable for unipolar or bipolar stepper motors.
• Voltage regulated spindle speed controlled by parallel interface as function of supply voltage.

Simple solutions if the driver does not work properly:

• Please double check the software settings according to the Fig.5 and Fig.6
• Please conform the parallel cable has been pluged tightly
• Please turn off the power supply before changing dip settings
• Please use stable high quality DC power supply for this driver
• Problems in Mach3 using, Please refer to the Mach 3 User Manual
