Drive to optimise stepper motor
performance
The ViX Microstepper is designed to optimise stepper motor performance across the speed range 0 to 50rev/s, and squeezes up to 200W shaft power from an industry standard NEMA34 frame stepper motor.

Digital servo boasts outstanding acceleration
The ViX series digital servo drive is available with power ratings of 250 or 500VA, giving continuous current ratings of 2.5 and 5.0A RMS with a motor bus voltage up to 80V DC.
The digital field oriented control improves efficiency and virtually eliminates stepper resonances.
It runs a standard 1.8-degree motor at 51,200step/rev, and at the same time allows the user to program an effective resolution anywhere between 400 and 51,200step/rev.
As well as offering the usual step/direction input functionality it also has an in built motion controller.
Programmed over RS232C it can run stand alone, using stored programs, or it can act as an intelligent peripheral acting immediately on ASCII commands over the interface or optional RS485 or CAN open fieldbus ports.
Its modular construction also allows for other fieldbus systems to be used in future.
The ViX Microstepper is available in two power ratings of either 2.5A RMS at 24 to 80V DC or 5.6A RMS at 48 to 80V DC.
Its highly integrated design makes it low cost and high performance and in partnership with its servo brother it is an ideal product range for OEMs wishing to minimise system costs when configuring multi-axis automation, or creating machinery ranges.
