Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position control is necessary. Motors of ...

Stepper motors are available in several versions and sizes with a variety of operating voltages. The advantage of this general-purpose controller is that is can be used with a wide range of operating ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

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 would ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

In this EDN Magazine article, K. Suresh of the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research describes a multiple-stepper-motor-control circuit that uses an ADC to control multiple stepper motors. The ...

grbl is stepper motor controller firmware for three-axis cnc machines, intended to run on Arduinos with a motor driver add-on board. Engineer in Wonderland cnc-related blogs are indexed here It is the ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Motor controllers in general and especially closed-loop controllers have come a very long way in the past few years. Control flexibility, adaptability, and strategies that were only dreamed of or very ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced the TB67S559FTG 50V/3.0A stepper motor driver IC that supports constant current control with built-in current detection. 50V/3.0A constant current stepper ...
