AutomationDirect has added the new Titanio series of stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions that work with AutomationDirect SureStep stepper motors. Unlike typical stepper drives, Titanio steppers can detect stalls in open-loop control mode by monitoring the motor’s back EMF. The Titanio drives use sinusoidal current control to provide smooth motor movement with reduced audible noise, significant dampening of vibration and resonances, higher system efficiency and increased, more consistent torque output at all speeds. The LW3A model is a high-bus-voltage unit that accepts 100-240V AC power input and is compatible with all STP-MTRACx series high-bus-voltage stepper motors. Ever Studio configuration software (a free download) allows advanced configuration of the LW3A and LW4D stepper drives, including the setup of additional micro-stepping resolutions.
