Stepper Motor Control offers plug and play functionality.
Press Release Summary:
Palm-sized Motion Checker(TM) MCH-2 integrates constant voltage driver, intended for tin-can type stepper motors, that is available in bipolar or unipolar configuration. Operated by front panel controls, users can create constant-speed motion or trapezoidal motion with programmable low and high speeds as well as ramp-up/down times. Unit, suited for field-testing and inspection, lets motion profiles be set to run indefinitely or for set number of times.
Original Press Release:
MCH-2: Palm-Sized Motion Checker Offers Plug & Play Stepper Motor Control
Nippon Pulse America, Inc., Radford, VA - (August 8, 2005) Nippon Pulse America introduces the Motion Checker(TM) MCH-2, a palm-sized plug & play stepper motor controller with a built in constant voltage driver. Motion Checker(TM) MCH-2 helps engineers get started with their stepper motor project right away or helps students to learn stepper motor control easily.
Operating the Motion Checker(TM) is very simple. Its front panel controls allow you to create either constant-speed motion or a trapezoidal motion with programmable low and high speeds, as well as ramp-up/down times. These motion profiles can be set to run indefinitely or for a set number of times, making life testing operations very simple.
In addition, its mobility is well suited for field-testing and inspection of stepper motor driven equipment outside the factory.
The built-in driver is intended for tin-can type stepper motors. It is available in a bipolar (400mA rated, 700mA peek) or unipolar (250mA rated, 400mA peek) driver configuration. A separate CW/CCW output allows for easy attachment of an external driver.
The list price of Motion Checker(TM) MCH-2, including a selected stepper motor and 12DC adaptor, is $100.00 each.
Nippon Pulse America also offers MCH-1 and MCH-3 models.
Nippon Pulse America, Inc. is the wholly owned American subsidiary of Nippon Pulse Motor Co., Ltd. Nippon Pulse offers various controllers (boards and chips), drivers (boards and chips), and motors (tin-can and hybrid) to cover almost any stepper motor application.
