Can stepper systems get any simpler?
Motion control specialist Micromech reckons stepper systems just can't get any simpler than its new Socket to Stepping system, using only three components.
For rapid part transfer the actuator is belt driven achieving speeds up to 5m/s with an accuracy of 100 micron, whereas for higher precision moves the ballscrew driven module will operate up to 2m/s with an improved accuracy of 20 micron.
The load-bearing carriage runs on roller bearings for all belt-drive modules and standard ballscrew units, but for higher load requirements the ballscrew units are supplied with an optional square-rail carriage system.
The range offers stroke lengths up to 2800mm and a choice of two profile sizes: 32 and 50mm.
The units can be servo- or stepper-motor-driven and supplied as just components or a complete package ready to use as a position control kit including home datum and end of travel limits.
