We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Stepper Motor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Ensuring metal product marking is tamper-proof from
ES Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "A laser marking system has been designed to meet the specific needs of the automotive industry, for the production of tamper evident self adhesive labels".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Captive hybrid linear actuator is double stack from
Haydon Motion Europe: "A double stack captive hybrid linear actuator features engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a stainless steel Acme lead screw for long life".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Baldor UK
concerning its NextMove-ESB2 motion controller
- take a look at Eight-axis motion controller is 'intelligent'
which says: "An intelligent, 8-axis motion controller has been designed to offer a 'one box' system for machinery builders and expands servo control from three to four axes".
Take a look also at the news release from Krauss-Maffei (UK), Plastics pouring rates precisely controlled,
as well as Linear actuators have higher resolution from Haydon Motion Europe,
and Stepper motors get servo functionality from Festo.
