3-Axis Stepper Motor 3.5A CNC TB6560

Description

What it is

The 3 Axis Stepper Motor 3.5A CNC TB6560 is an electronic component that allows the control of an object’s movement in three independent directions.

Features

• 3 Axis of Movement
• Maximum Current of 3.5A
• Integrated Controller TB6560

What it is for

This motor is ideal for 3D printing, CNC, and robotics projects where precise and controlled movement is required. It can be used to create a simple 3D printer with a 3-axis movement carriage or to build custom machines. Compatibility with Arduino and ESP should be verified in the datasheet.

Tutorial: How to Use 3 Axis Stepper Motor TB6560

The 3 Axis Stepper Motor TB6560 is ideal for 3D printing, CNC, and robotics projects. This tutorial will guide you through installation and configuration for beginners.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• USB Cable
• Connection to PC
• External Power Supply
• Stepper Motor Driver TB6560
• Connection Wire

Steps

1. Connect the TB6560 stepper driver to the Arduino Uno following the datasheet
2. Power the stepper driver with an external power supply (check the datasheet for the voltage)
3. Connect the Arduino to the PC via the USB cable
4. Install the AccelStepper library
5. Write the Arduino sketch to control the motor

8. Configure the motor for more advanced movement

Example code

void setup() {
  stepper.setMaxSpeed(1000);
  stepper.setAcceleration(1000);
}

void loop() {
  stepper.runToPosition();
}
