I am in need of stepper motors that can perform 1/64th, 1/128th, and 1/256th microstepping.
I've worked with many stepper motors and drivers, and pushing most common over the shelf, generic, stepper motors past 1/64th stepping causes many issues. First, loss of torque; even when wired up in parallel. Second, they often do not respond properly, often due to the torque loss. Or, third, the motor can't respond fast enough with the step mode.
My goal is to drive a stepper motor close to servo smoothness, hence why I want it at 1/256th stepping. Has anyone had experience with microstepping at these resolutions? Can you suggest a motor? And high quality drivers to match?
