Precision Positioning for clean room applications
Industrial Devices Corporation (IDC) introduces Precision Positioning Tables for Clean Room requirements up to Class 1000 (per U.S. Federal Standard 209 (E)).
This ultra-compact microstepping drive features Open Loop Stall Detect (OLSD) for detecting a motor stall without an encoder or resolver, Multi-Stepping for low-resolution step input (25,600 microsteps out), and Dynamic Smoothing for rounding the edges of the move profile (pseudo-S curve).
Xtreme Smoothness eliminates the motor's natural resonance speeds, and a Motion Node option provides additional move capabilities.
The Impulse is able to power frame size 23 and 34 stepping motors by virtue of its 4 amps of available current, and features the best performing and largest range of anti-resonance capability in the industry (7.2s).
Additional features include: * Programmable jog function with dual speed settings.
* Current reduction modes with programmable time and reduction amount.
* Four programmable inputs.
* One programmable output.
* User configurable I/O to active high or active low operation.
* Programmable input resolution from 200-100,000 steps/rev.
* DIN rail mountable.
* Internal fan-powered cooling tunnel.
* 160 VDC Bus voltage for increased torque at higher speeds.
* Built-in regenerative circuit.
* Diagnostic LED.
* Easy configuration with Application Developer software or an FP100 keypad IDC is a worldwide leader in the design of complete, electro-mechanical motion control solutions for the automated machinery market.
