How to Control a Stepper Motor Using a Computer. Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers.

Munich, Germany, – PANdrive PD-140-42-SE from TRINAMIC contains a powerful motion control element in combination with a 42 mm stepper motor (NEMA 17). As an additional benefit, this series also has ...

Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that ...

Numerous machines designed with stepper motors for economic reasons could deliver better user experiences if they were quieter, smoother, and more energy-efficient. New control ...

All stepper-motor systems consist of a controller, drive, and motor. Most systems are connected to a PLC for supervisory control. The controller accurately regulates the step position, the speed ...

3.4 Stepper Motor Controller Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position ...

Leveraging the Trinamic TMC2208 stepper motor driver gives Ethersweep silky smooth and quiet motor control, which could be very important for some applications.

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

The Juno Step Motor Control IC 56-pin VQFN package has the highest PWM frequencies ever offered by Performance Motion Devices and the smallest IC parts, measuring 7.2 mm x 7.2 mm. Juno Step Motor ...

When applying step motors, users must understand how to address certain characteristics to optimize their performance. For example, traditional step motor systems run in open loop control.

Programming very complicated stepper movements then becomes just a matter of generating the right “audio” file and playing it out. [lhartmann] demonstrated this earlier with an Orange Pi.
