Hello, I am new to stepper motors and am having a problem.
I have a machine that operates in all three directions (X, Y and Z) and has motors.
When I do linear movements (one after another) everything goes well I reach a fairly high speed and I am able to lift my load.
However, when I want to combine these movements together (moving diagonally) my motors start to lift the load and made it almost halfway. After that, it is no longer able to support the load and the load is freefalling.
After some research I believe the problem is that the current is not strong enough to support more than one motor at a time at their operating speed. So I wanted to confirm if I should change my power supply and have a power supply unit with more voltage and current which increases the torque of the motors.
Thank you
