Press Release Summary:
Micro Stepping Chopper Drives DCM8028 and DCM8055 use bipolar constant-current chopping technique and feature max input voltage of 80 Vdc. Suited for driving 2-phase step motors with max current ratings of 2.8 and 5.5 A per phase, drives offer mixed decay current control, automatic idle-current reduction, and micro step resolutions from ½ step to 1/256. They also offer 14 selectable micro step resolutions in decimal and binary.Original Press Release:
New DCM8028 and DCM8055 Micro Stepping Drives
Waterbury, CT - Haydon Switch & Instrument, Inc. (HSI) is introducing their new High Performance Micro Stepping Chopper Drives based on some of the most advanced technology in the world today. Providing a cost effective solution for production volume requirements, the small size allows designers to use these Drives in limited space and they are also easily integrated with other electronic systems. Design time is reduced because incorporating these Drives is far simpler than developing a custom drive circuit. They are suitable for driving 2-phase step motors (maximum current ratings of 2.8A and 5.5A per phase). These specially designed Drives deliver optimum performance throughout a greater speed range. By using an advanced bipolar constant-current chopping technique, and a maximum input voltage of 80 VDC, they can produce more speed and power from the same motor, compared with traditional technologies such as L/R drives.
The DCM8028 and DCM8055 feature high performance, low cost, compact size, mixed decay current control for less motor heating, automatic idle-current reduction and micro step resolutions from ½ step to 1/256. There are fourteen micro step resolutions selectable in decimal and binary. The output current levels and micro step resolutions are easily set via the 8 bit DIP switch. These Drives are suitable for 4, 6, and 8 lead motors.
Ideal for a wide range of stepping motors such as low voltage version of sizes 11, 14, 17, 23 and 34, used in various kinds of machines, such as X-Y tables, labeling machines, laser cutters, engraving machines, and pick-place devices. These Drives are particularly useful in motor applications requiring low noise, low vibration, high speed and high precision requirements.
