Would the built in calibration wizard work for this motor?

What micro-stepping are you intending to use?
The first number on the axis configuration ("Motor Distance per Revolution") is determined by the lead/ball screw.
The second number on the axis configuration ("Drive : Pulses per Revolution") is determined by the stepper motor / micro-stepping settings.
The maximum feed rate and acceleration are dependent on a number of factors:
- Stepper motor current and driver supply voltage
- Mass of the axis (impacts acceleration)
- Friction of the axis (sliding friction and lead/ball screw friction)
Focus on the "Distance per Revolution" and "Pulses per Revolution" first and make sure the axis moves the correct amount before attempting to tune maximum feed rate and acceleration.
The model number includes a "3H" which if I understand correctly is a 3 phase servo motor. This means tuning techniques for classic stepper motors do not apply - mid-band resonance (which can cause the motor to stall) is unlikely to occur. You should be able to drive at full acceleration subject to the available power (rated phase current ? motor driver voltage = max feed rate ? axis mass ? acceleration [subject to correct engineering units])

The only useful piece of information in the uploads is the step angle = 1.2 which equates to 300 steps / revolution, the rest is specs about the driver and connections.
Googled HBS507 manual and found this which the manual for the software that sets the parameters in the driver. Section Motor Settings Window describes how to set pulses / revolution (micro stepping), so what you set in there is what you put in MASSO PPR.

Thank you Arie! The adventure continues.
