Micro-stepper runs like a servo
The Danaher Motion P7000 micro-stepping drive gives "servo like" performance without a feedback device.
The series of course includes optically isolated step and direction inputs and the drives are configured by either onboard switches or via the graphical user interface (GUI).
This means a wide range of stepper motors can be set up with the onboard switches as the GUI is perfect when using any manufacturer's alternative motor type or one with a unique winding.
There are two families of drives, first the DC version a modular microstepping drive for operation with NEMA size 17, 23 and 34, two-phase stepping motors.
This package operates over a 20-75V DC range and be configured up to 5A RMS per phase.
Next is the AC step drive a self-contained microstepping drive for operation with NEMA size 23, 34 and 42, two-phase stepping motors.
This package is powered at 120 or 240V AC and can be configured up to 3A RMS per phase.
Options are available for a serial cable connector kit, DeviceNet connector option Phoenix or Euro, position node, DeviceNet with indexing or CANopen with indexing.
