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.
A PC based utility is available to allow easy motion program development using serial link communications.
The drive electronics is housed in a metallic box mounted to the motor body, the single package giving easy wiring and mounting requirements.
A single DC supply in the range of 48-75V is required and the units will operate at up to 4000 steps/revolution.
An electronic resonance damping circuit reduces noise and vibrations at low speed and a high efficiency chopper circuit with MOSFET final stage output reduces heating effects.
Hi-Mod is available in three stack lengths giving a shaft output power of up to 250W from a component offering high reliability, good performance and great ease of use at competitive prices.
