MCU-2 Dual-Axis Stepping Motor
Driver/Controller
A time
tested workhorse, the MCU-2 Dual-Axis
Stepping Motor Driver/Controller is
a rack mountable dual axis integrated
stepping motor driver/controller that
drives and controls any 2 (two) 4-phase
stepping motors with phase currents from
2 to 6 Amps/phase. The MCU-2 performs
indexing function without the need of a
host computer, but can operate under the
control of a host.
The MCU-2's internal nonvolatile memory
will store and execute a programmed
instruction set, or motor positioning
can be achieved through manual control
using the MCU-2s front panel controls.
The bi-level design of the MCU-2's motor
driver produces very low levels of
radiated electrical noise which is
critical during scientific data
collection. When the motor is held at
position, no currents are interrupted,
therefore there are no radiated
electromagnetic fields to interfere with
measurements.
