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.
Each XLT module gives three independent axes of stepper motor control with current rating options of 2.5, 5.0 or 8.0A peak on each axis.
They operate from a single 48-80V DC power supply, with the XLT80 requiring an additional 24V DC supply to power the integral cooling fans.
The XLT is suitable for use with standard 200step/rev two-phase hybrid stepping motors and can be configured with a common resolution of 400, 800, 2000 or 4000step/rev.
The current level can be programmed individually in each of the three axes to between 50 and 100% of the peak current level.
The drives are configured via onboard DIL switches and the drives accept TTL level control signals, either step/direction or step-up/step-down.
