Help! I am having problems hooking up my pulse generator to my driver Hello, I have a single stepper motor setup with a Phidget Stepper 4-motor Unipolar stepper driver board and a CNC STEPPER SERVO MOTOR STEP Pulse Generator & TESTER I bought off of Ebay from Hubbard CNC and the instructions are not too [...]
Stepper Motor is wonderful A given motor, how do you determine which wire corresponds to which coil? You need a multimeter. Yeah, that’s what UIrobot can tell you. Is there a quick and tooless way to identify which two or three/four coils (damn 4 lead wire, 6 lead wire and 8 lead wire stepper motors) [...]
More about Stepper Motors A new development in stepper control is to incorporate a rotor position feedback (e.g. an encoder or resolver), so that the commutation can be made optimal for torque generation according to actual rotor position. This turns the stepper motor into a high pole count brushless servo motor, with exceptional low speed [...]
How to use UIROBOT stepper drivers and controllers in a quite easy way? Here we want to take about ten minutes to give customers quick instructions who decide to apply our stepper drivers and stepper controllers: UIROBOT now have three types of stepper motor drives and controls units, they are UIM24002/24004/24008 parallel port stepper drivers, [...]

June 26th, 2011 admin Implementation of Micro Stepping of Stepper Motors Although some microstepping controllers offer hundreds of intermediate positions between steps, it is worth noting that microstepping does not generally offer great precision, both because of linearity problems and because of the effects of static friction. Sine Cosine Microstepping Recall, from the discussion in Part 2 of [...]
June 25th, 2011 admin Hard Disk Drive History Main article: History of hard disk drives HDDs (introduced in 1956 as data storage for an IBM accounting computer) were originally developed for use with general purpose computers. During the 1990s, the need for large-scale, reliable storage, independent of a particular device, led to the introduction of embedded systems such as [...]
June 23rd, 2011 admin How Do Inkjet Printers Work The printers utilizing inkjet technology were first introduced in the late 1980s and since then have gained much popularity while growing in performance and dropping in price. They are the most common type of computer printers for the general consumer due to their low cost, high quality of output, capability [...]
June 22nd, 2011 admin Dynamic Analysis of Stepper Motor Mechanism A force of one pound will accelerate a mass of one slug at one foot per second squared. The same relationship holds between the force, mass, time and distance units of the other measurement systems. Most people prefer to measure angles in degrees, and the common engineering practice of [...]
