Integrated Stepper Motors & Drives

Stepping systems combine high-performance microstepping drives with high-torque stepper motors to provide simple and accurate control of position and velocity where open or closed-loop control is desired and cost is a factor.

SureStep integrated drive/motor units provide accurate position and speed control with microstepping to smooth motion and step response. “E” models include encoders. Advanced “R” models include indexer, communication options and more.

Features - Integrated Motor / Drives

• DC power supply required (12-48 VDC or 12-70 VDC)
• Pulse/Direction or CW Pulse/CCW Pulse or A/B Quadrature
• Digital input filtering
• “E” models include an encoder
    (externally-wireable for Standard models, internal-only for Advanced models)
• Three optically isolated digital inputs, 5 to 24 volts
• Step input signal smoothing (microstep emulation), performs high resolution stepping by synthesizing coarse steps into fine microsteps
• Dynamic smoothing, software-configurable filtering for use in removing spectral components from command sequence, reduces jerk, limiting excitation of system resonance
• Anti-resonance (electronic damping): raises the system-damping ratio to eliminate midrange instability and allow stable operation throughout the speed range of the motor
• Idle current reduction range of 0-90% of running current after a delay selectable in milliseconds (Standard models = 50/90%, DIP switch selectable)
• Configurable hardware digital noise filter, software noise filter
• Non-volatile storage, configurations are saved in FLASH memory on-board the DSP
• Dynamic current control, software configurable for running current, accel current, idle current, to make motion smoother and the motor run cooler
