April 6, 2009 – Intelligent Motion Systems introduces AccuStep motion control technology that, when applied to step motors, prevents the loss of synchronization due to transient or continued overload, extreme acceleration or deceleration, or excessive slew speed. MDrive AccuStep systems offer clear advantages in a low cost package for a wide range of motion control applications such as: point-to-point positioning, conveyor control, web handling, drilling, rotary and linear positioning to torque specification, and low end camming. With the addition of torque control, rotary and linear positioning to torque specifications are now possible. And, by enabling variable current control, motor heating and energy consumption can be greatly reduced.
Two (2) MDrive AccuStep product versions are available:
Step.Torque.Speed
— AccuStep integrated with step motor, microstepping driver and internal encoder. Features three AccuStep operating modes: Step, Torque and Speed.
Motion Control
— AccuStep integrated with fully programmable motion controller, step motor, microstepping driver and internal encoder.
