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 ...

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S line ...

These AMT series encoders from AutomationDirect can be set for most models using the free AMT Viewpoint software and they also offer line driver and push-pull output signals configurable up to 4096 ...

Nanotec will be the first manufacturer in the world to launch a sensorless control for stepper motors in which the speed of the rotor is determined by means of a "virtual encoder" within the ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

Is it something in the water, or have there been a lot of really cool servo projects lately? Mechaduino is a board that sits on a regular stepper motor and turns it into a servo with a closed loop ...

Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

As usual, the needs of the application play a major role in determining which is the best type of motor to use. As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo ...
