Nyden's New IMS51 Simple 5-Phase Stepper Driver, AC Type
San Jose, CA-As new demands for better technology have spawned a high number of new companies into the manufacturing and R&D marketplace, the longstanding and successful Silicon Valley-based Nyden Corporation continues to meet stringent requirements for the motion control industry by announcing today an addition to complement its family of popular-selling 5-Phase Step Motors and Drivers. The high-performance IMS51 series is an economical AC bipolar driver that is CE compliant to fulfill worldwide safety protocols when powering ultra high torque step motors. It also carries the patented STAR approval, a prestigious trademark granted by industry officials for optimal performance and safety of selected 5-Phase Motion Control products designed exclusively by Nyden's parent company, Mycom, Inc.
Nyden's new IMS51 is more exceptional than a smart integrated driver. Its main pull is its flexibility to drive with intelligent computer-like functions 5-phase step motors of various torque, speed and size factors without the requirement of adjusting numerous dipswitch-type driver settings. Consequently, this profits user's productivity and eliminates company downtime when employing multifunctional operations commanded by step motors of different NEMA sizes. Enhanced features, quick 5-lead stepper motor connections, setup and installation conditions provide designers a powerful, synchronous running performance in a motion control pulse igniter. In addition, the compact unit is designed with superior modular electronics inside a carefully crafted metal box to effectively deliver electrical power and performance to a step motor in cordial compliance with program signals from almost any type of controller. This new IMS51 driver is highly user-friendly and will perform superbly in many automated applications demanding high output power and high acceleration rates, such as designing semiconductor production units, robotics, wafer inspection and probing equipment, CNC systems, aerospace apparatus, and food producing machinery.
As the company's newest motion control driver system, Myden's IMS5I presents a wide assortment of step driving capabilities. The output current of this new driver can easily be selected as 1.4 Amps/Phase or 2.8 Amps/Phase, depending on the user's requirement of operating either a low or high amp step motor. This amp rate selection function also promotes easy guidance for users in determining which high performance, high torque NEMA size 17, 23 or 34 5-phase step motor will be employed within their system. Additional features and benefits of the IMS51 include: Auto-Current Down, Auto-Current Off, Exciting Timing Output, Overheat Warning Output and a basic step division of .72° Full Step (at 500 steps/revolution) and .36° Half Step (at 1,000 steps/revolution). Inputs are fully opto-isolated for excellent noise immunity in typical noisy environments of factory floor plants. The driver requires no power supply, is operated from 120V AC or 220 VAC for both low and high amp series. Both versions accept Clockwise and Counter-clockwise pulse types or pulse and direction commands, with Input Signal Voltage of Low: 0 ~ 0.5V and High: 4~5V. Signal outputs offer a Photocoupler Open-collector Output, MONI, HEAT and a Limited Capacity of 25V 10mA or less. Simple installation requirements are: out-of-the-box, wire hookup and run. The driver is priced below $450/unit for mass quantities over 400 units.
