Stepper Motors for High Accuracy Positioning Systems

Hybrid Stepper Motors are widely used in open-loop position applications. They are the choice of actuation for the collimators in the Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle accelerator at CERN. In this case the positioning requirements and the highly radioactive operating environment are unique. The latter forces both the use of long cables to connect …

Stepper Motor for CNC Machine and 3D Printers

The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is a technology that uses microcomputers to generate, parse and execute the sequential control that describes the end effector’s behavior. The application of this technique is often used in turning, drilling, milling or extruding machines. Recently its application has expanded to other tasks, such as: electronic components insertion, tube welding, …
