Microstepping at full-step prices!
Astrosyn's new compact P780 Multi-function Bipolar Drive Module incorporates microstepping at the price levels normally associated with conventional full and half-stepping bipolar drives.
Included in the standard product are features such as over-heat protection, auto-current down and photocoupled noise isolation, and four levels of step resolution, from full-step down to a microstepping capability of 1,600 steps per revolution.
The constant current drive method employed in the P760 provides an accurate, high torque, smooth drive for all 2-phase steppers.
The output drive current is switch-selectable in the range from 1-3A/phase, which makes the module ideal for small to medium motor frame sizes, or larger motors with short rotor stacks.
Housed in a slimline 126 x 102 x 43mm casing, the P760 provides a powerful stepper drive solution without the cost penalty.
