Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

SoftMotion Development Module 2.0 is the latest version of software for LabView that enables users to create customized motion controllers using software and deploy them for any of the vendor’s ...

Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

Featured in this project is the control of a stepper motor with its speed, direction, and step size by sending some signals through the parallel port. The project provides better understanding and ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Take a look at a modern motor controller and one of the first things you'll notice is that the control circuit is about ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...
