Micro-Stepping Drive Gives Servo Like Performance

The P7000 from Danaher Motion has open loop stall detection and so combines all the advantages of a stepper system but can perform like a servo drive arrangement.
The P7000 from Danaher Motion has open loop stall detection and so combines all the advantages of a stepper system but can perform like a servo drive arrangement.
The dynamic smoothing (Multi-Stepping) also provides a much smoother motion when using low-resolution step configuration such as full and half step which is most helpful when command pulse frequency is limited.
There is improved mid-band anti-resonance that de-emphasises the motor's natural resonance so reducing vibration and the risk of stalling.
It has a simple to use software set up using PC or dip-Switch set up for standard motor types and a choice of base step and direction drive or indexing option, this means a PC will not always be required on site.
It also has a choice of DC powered drive (5A rms) or AC powered drive(3A rms per phase) and you can also choose between a network control 'Motion Node' ( Mod Bus RTU), Device Net or Canopen.
As for set up, position programming and testing the P7000 uses the popular PC Graphical User Interface (GUI) which is a significant advantage as it allows applications to be verified on the bench using a PC.
Very competitively priced and it comes in a compact housing: DC unit P70530 is H144, W 44.3 and D112.5mm AC unit P70360 is H170, W 52.3 and D132mm.
