Motion Control Products Ltd (MCP) newly launched EM870S digital stepper drive which is based on Leadshine’s widely implemented DM stepper drives. While retaining features of simple design, easy setup, high precision and reliability, it has been also upgraded by adopting the latest stepper control technology with additional advanced features for better torque (10-25%), quicker response time, control command smoothing and easy self-test, etc.
The EM870S digital stepper drive can power 2-phase (1.8°) and 4-phase (0.9°) stepper motors smoothly with very low motor heating & noise. It can take 20-80VDC supply voltage and output 0.5 to 7.0A current. All the micro step and output current configurations can be easily done via built in DIP switches. Its control type (step & direction or CW/CCW) and command smooth filtering can also be configured via DIP switches. Therefore, the EM870S is an ideal choice for many applications requiring simple step & direction or CW/CCW control of NEMA 23, NEMA24 and NEMA 34 stepper motors with up to 4.5Nm torque.
