We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Stepper Motors",
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 Southern UK manufacturing show expands from
European Trade and Exhibition Services, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Show claims to be the southern UK's 'number one' engineering and manufacturing event, having an impressive programme of
events and attractions".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Brushless AC servo motors suit automation from
Baldor UK: "A range of ultra-compact brushless AC servo motors offer machine builders a high performance and low-maintenance alternative to stepper motors and DC servos".
In October 2007, we covered the news from ES Technology
concerning its Laser marking machine
- take a look at Laser marking with automation
which says: "The Drill-Mark 6000 from ES Technology is capable of marking up to 6,200 components per hour and incorporates dual part presentation hoppers and dual marking fixtures".
Take a look also at the news release from Motion Drives and Controls, Intelligent high resolution servo drives,
as well as Stepper motors get servo functionality from Festo,
and Enhanced performance stepper motors added to range from McLennan Servo Supplies.
