August 30, 2017 - JVL announced a closed-loop stepper motor technology for its NEMA 23 & 34 integrated stepper motor range from 0,1 to 12 Nm.
JVL closed-loop integrated stepper motors, QuickStep is designed to provide increased torque, acceleration, and torque control. QuickStep helps do this with greater efficiency and less motor heating because motor phase current are regulated up and down according to need. Performance of JVL closed-loop steppers are similar to servo motors. Design safety factors have always been high for stepper motors to ensure stall-free operation – now with QuickStep closed-loop control design can be very close to the limit. QuickStep is a true closed-loop control system that compensates step angle errors during a movement and correct errors within a full step.
If load becomes too high speed is lowered and position errors will always stay within two full-steps. Smart digital design and update rates (36 MHz) means there is no need of any manual adjustment or setup.
Applications include
- Winding applications
- Belt drives (start/stop, positioning)
- Dosing pumps and filler systems
- Semi-conductor mounting
- Wafer production
- Textile machines and industrial sewing machines
- Robotics
- Testing and inspection systems
