Linear guides combine precision and longevity
Miniature linear guides that offer high accuracy and longevity in order to enhance production efficiency provide extremely smooth, 'whisper quiet', single rail operation.
Self lubricating ball screws break 20,000h barrier
A self lubricating ball screw has been successfully tested for over 20000 hours continuous operation.
The P7000 is the only microstepping drive available today to offer reliable Encoderless Stall Detection, down to and including rest, without the use of a separate feedback device.
Additionally, these drives use multi-step positioning to convert full step indexing commands into smooth microstepping resolution, making them the only microstepping drive available today with this functionality.
This allows users, for the cost of a new drive, to significantly increase machine performance without having to redesign the machine control architecture.
Available for AC or DC operation, the P7000 is designed to power any 2-phase NEMA step motor.
Its advanced current auto-tuning techniques make it an ideal solution for single or multi-axis applications that require high-speed performance or low speed smoothness.
A Motion Node option that supports ModBus RTU, CAN Open, or DeviceNet network protocols adds enhanced indexing capabilities at significant savings when compared to the cost of a standard indexer.
Because the P7000 can connect to industry-standard networks, users can add positioning capability at a fraction of the cost of using a fully-programmable controller.
Users select the intelligent drive that connects to the machine control network of their choice.
