A previous article (Standard Step-Motor Driver Interface Limits Performance) on step-motors berated open-loop stepping and the desperate methods used to avoid missed steps and acceleration limitations ...

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 ...

Motor controllers in general and especially closed-loop controllers have come a very long way in the past few years. Control flexibility, adaptability, and strategies that were only dreamed of or very ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...
