mechapro: Stepper motors with USB and LAN connection - as comfortable as an external hard drive
Modular stepper motor driver with integrated encoder directly flanged to the motor.
(firmenpresse) - At "SPS/IPC/DRIVES", mechapro will introduce stepper motor drivers of the MID (Motor Integrated Drive) series for direct flanging to the motor. As these drivers feature a USB, Ethernet or fieldbus interface, they can be extremely easily controlled. As an option, the drivers come with integrated encoders for load-adjustable motor operation. This makes the motors extremely fail-safe and highly energy efficient.
The new drivers are the first integrated modules controllable via USB or Ethernet. Thus they are particularly well suited for motion control applications, in which motors for handling systems or automation solutions are directly controlled by a PC software programme or integrated into an existing control environment.
As the power and control units come as separate modules, mechapro can offer customized solutions even for small quantities. On request, the Aachen-based company also realizes RS232, RS485, CANopen and Profinet interfaces as well as interfaces for customer-specific protocols. Likewise customized solutions are developed for specific firmware, I/Os or customized housings.
Dipl.-Ing. Thorsten Ostermann, Managing Director of mechapro, sees a myriad of applications for the new drivers: "Numerous handling systems - for example, for automated procedures in laboratories - are PC controlled. For these tasks we have an easily realizable solution. It goes without saying that the software for commissioning and parameterizing comes with our systems free of charge. The software supports systems running under Windows XP, Windows 7 and Vista."
The modules are suitable for a phase current of up to 3 A and voltages of up to 48 V. From Nema23 upwards, they are directly flanged to the motors with a 56 mm flange. This saves space and wiring effort.
As an option, mechapro offers the driver modules with an integrated, magnetic 12 bit single-turn absolute position encoder. The encoder detects overloading of the drive and significantly improves the energy efficiency of the motors, as the driver adjusts the motor power to the actual load.
Compared to separate optical encoders, an integrated solution provides various advantages. The components are compact and less expensive. Standard motors with only one shaft end can be used and the sensors require no wiring. Moreover, the integrated sensor is insensitive against contamination. The driver modules are therefore particularly suited for applications calling for a compact, robust and at the same time cost-efficient solution.
As the driver modules have the capability to store simple motion sequences, the drive can also be controlled via digital I/Os. mechapro offers the modules with a cover or with a complete housing. Optionally, they can also be supplied in a cast version.
