Stepper motors are brushless and very reliable, since there are no contact brushes inside the motor. Therefore, the life of the motor is simply dependent on the life of the mechanical bearing. A ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

Like the basic model, the version with Modbus TCP has two options for stepper motor maximum phase current – 0.1A to 4.2A for the model SMSD-4.2LAN and 1.0A to 8.0A for the model SMSD-8.0LAN. With such ...

The PCM4806E is the latest addition to the IDEA Drive line. The RoHS-compliant drive lets an encoder input to the controller for closed-loop position correction capability. The drive is optimized to ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

Precision movement and positioning systems used in industries such as automated manufacturing using the advanced single-chip digital motion controllers announced by STMicroelectronics. Precision ...

The 0.72° unit needs no wiring between controller, driver and motor, with no need for a pulse generator. A positioning function is built in, ensuring that the traveling amount, speed, and other ...

Designed for medical devices, scientific and optical instruments, embedded automation applications, and other small-footprint devices needing dual-axis motion control, this system is designed to work ...

3D scanners aren’t cheap, and the last thing you want to see after purchasing one is bad data. But that’s what [Dave Does] and others were getting from their Revopoint POP scanners until some communal ...
