X axis mechanics

For vertical engraving, X moves between scan lines. These values convert X motor rotation into real millimetres.

What we ask and why

For vertical engraving, X moves between scan lines. These values convert X motor rotation into real millimetres.

Drive typeSelect how this axis converts motor rotation into linear motion.

Motor presetManual override remains available after selecting a preset.

Use the value from Ruida, AWC, Trocen, GRBL, etc. Leave empty if unknown.Belt pitch preset

Distance between belt teeth.Belt pitch (mm)

Distance between belt teeth.Driving pulley teeth

Number of teeth on the pulley that drives this axis.Dual motor modeLeave as no dual motor unless this axis is driven by two motors.

How to find microstepping

Microstepping is the driver setting that splits one full motor step into smaller electronic steps.

Check the stepper driver DIP switches, controller manual, vendor settings, or axis parameters.
