– Make your stepper motor applications extremely compact ! – Make sure that you never miss a step again, thanks to the on-board encoder and control algorithm !

A stepper motor and driver was wired up to the Arduino UNO (Figs. 5 and 6). Now, in addition to the serial monitor, the motor would be an indicator of the health of the code.

The new I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC.

The EP7041 EtherCat Motion Box enables stepper motor control in a compact, machine-mountable device, without need for a protective control cabinet.

An Arduino-based cnc controller for separate stepper drivers? grbl is stepper motor controller firmware for three-axis cnc machines, intended to run on Arduinos with a motor driver add-on board.

Kit encoders can also be installed on stepper motors to provide integrated feedback to the control system, improving accuracy by eliminating positioning errors due to skipped steps.

JVL QuickStep closed-loop integrated stepper motors provide higher torque, faster acceleration, torque control, stall free operation and quieter movements than traditional step motor systems. They do ...

A sophisticated, compact stepper-motor controller/driver module offers advanced performance and ramping profiles in servo applications.
