ASSEMBLY OF AXIS MOTORS

Materials needed for assembly

Timing wheel (3)

Axis stepper motor (3)

M3*8 screws (12)

Step 1

Take a stepper motor and place a timing
wheel on the shaft of the motor.

Figure 2.0

Step 2

The set screw of the stepper gear should
correspond with the flat groove on the mo
