‘Stepper Drive’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors): "ABB drives have helped a UK holiday park operator save GBP77,000 a year on energy bills for its swimming pools. ".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from ControlEng Corp - take a look at Servosoft ECM determines energy costs which says: "Servosoft now includes an Energy Cost Model (ECM), which calculates annual and lifetime energy cost, and provides a benefit analysis of adding more capacitance or switching to a regenerative drive. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Heason Technology, Actuator system for sampling applications, as well as Liquiphant accurately measures liquid levels from Endress+Hauser, and Solidworks CAD software used in blind car from SolidWorks Corporation.
