The Mercury stepper motor controller from PI now has 2048-step resolution. The compact C-663.12 motion controller is designed for 2-phase stepper motors, in open-loop or closed-loop operation ...

grbl is stepper motor controller firmware for three-axis cnc machines, intended to run on Arduinos with a motor driver add-on board. Engineer in Wonderland cnc-related blogs are indexed here It is the ...

The MCST 3601 programmable motion controller is ideal for micro-stepper motors with phase currents that are sometimes less than 100 mA. The controller can precisely regulate phase currents from 10 mA ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

Brushless servo motors are all the hype these days. But stepper motors still provide a number of advantages while being more cost efficient and robust. Together with precision linear and rotary ...
