This may be an overly ambitious project for stepping my toes into the world of stepper motors, but so be it.
I'm looking to build a paper feeder to keep pushing fresh heavy weight sheets out to get laser etched.
I've ruled out brush motors as I understand keeping the rotation of brush motors in sync is a whole other feat in its self and I'm afraid 2 motors out of sinc would either tear the paper or cause a paper jam.
So I'm looking at stepper motors to run this feeder, about 6 ft long and have it to move at a rate of 1ft per second from the pile of paper to infront of the laser.
I would be most appreciative if anyone can recomment a fair motor to at least prototype with, able to turn a 1ft wide roller likely spinning at 12rpm with a 1" diameter to pass the sheet of paper at 1ft/second and be able to signal if the sheet is jammed to avoid damage to the motor or tearing.
Thank you,
