Orbiter Extruder Motor

@Prathik as long as its a 6HC v1.02 then the answer to both questions is yes

Here we are not sure whether the Orbiter Extruder motor can handle 48V DC power supply.
I don't want to use 24V power supply separately for the Orbiter Extruder, we want to connect it directly to the Duet 3 6HC MB Stepper Output terminals.https://www.trianglelab.net/products/orbiter-extruder-v20?VariantsId=10239
this extruder has NEMA 14 36mm pancake stepper motor with the following rating- Current/phase - 1.0 A
- Resistance/phase - 2.1*(1+/-15%) Ohms
- Inductance/phase - 1.6*(1+/-20%) mH
We require support regarding this.
Thank you.

@Prathik if you’re running everything on 48V, make sure your heaters are specified for 48V. Don’t use 24V heaters; they will be overpowered, and have the ability to reach dangerously high temperatures.
Wiring multiple tools back to the the 6HC will be a pain. Have you considered using toolboards? You could also use 24V on them, which is plenty for the extruder motors, and allow use of more generally available heaters.

thank you @droftarts
Can we run stepper motors with separate power like few motors with 24V DC and few motors with 48V DC (Like the Big Tree Tech Octopus Pro board)? -
@techworld no. but you can run the orbiter on 48v no problem
-
@jay_s_uk We were doubtful about connecting Nema 23 motors directly to 6 HC boards. I hope it doesnt need any external stepper drivers, isnt it? If the current is less than 5A, we can directly connect 4 wires to the board.
-
@techworld why? I've ran NEMA 14, 17 and 23s quite happily with a 6HC and I know 34s can be used directly too.
You cannot connect an external driver to a 6HC directly. You'd have to use a 1XD or 6XD -
@techworld the 6HC and 3HC can drive Nema 23 motors easily, and some Nema 34 motors too.

@droftarts said in Orbiter Extruder Motor:

I don't fully agree with that. A geared extruder runs quite fast and with 'full current'. So it benefits from higher voltage.
Especially when you retract/unretract with 'speed' it provides an extra safety margin. -
@techworld see this thread for a discussion about voltage and stepper motors.: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/32320/i-m-confused-about-stepper-motor-voltage
