Stepper motor technology avoids loss of synchronisation
Intelligent Motion Systems is introducing the innovative Accustep motion control technology that, when applied to step motors, prevents the loss of synchronisation due to transient or continued overload, extreme acceleration or deceleration, or excessive slew speed.Mdrive Accustep systems are claimed to offer clear advantages in a low-cost package for a wide range of motion control applications such as: point-to-point positioning; conveyor control; web handling; drilling; rotary and linear positioning to torque specification; and low-end camming. With the addition of torque control, rotary and linear positioning to torque specifications are now possible. And, by enabling variable current control, motor heating and energy consumption can be reduced.
Max Wietharn, IMS vice president of sales and marketing, states: "With Accustep, there is now a low-cost alternative where brushless technology is required. When you add Accustep control technology's flexible operating environment and long list of features, combined with integrated motor technology, your solution becomes as simple as applying our products."
Two Mdrive Accustep product versions are available:
[1] Step, torque, speed: Accustep technology is integrated with a stepper motor, microstepping driver and internal encoder. This version features three Accustep operating modes, namely step, torque and speed.
[2] Motion Control: Accustep technology is integrated with a fully programmable motion controller, stepper motor, microstepping driver and internal encoder.
Find out more about this technology by reading the Accustep eBook or watching two informative videos online at the IMS website.
