Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

Stepper motors are brushless and very reliable, since there are no contact brushes inside the motor. Therefore, the life of the motor is simply dependent on the life of the mechanical bearing. A ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

The Easy-Step 3000 line of advanced stepper motor drive and control systems are designed for unipolar stepper motors up to 35 V and 3 A per phase. The 3000's small size (63.6 26.4 mm) makes it a ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Stepper motor motion systems, formerly relegated to low-speed, high audible noise environments, now pervade automation, ...

3D scanners aren’t cheap, and the last thing you want to see after purchasing one is bad data. But that’s what [Dave Does] and others were getting from their Revopoint POP scanners until some communal ...
