Question: I need a delay of 1ms or less between my start command to motor movement with the AZ series stepper. What is the fastest communication you offer? communication delay chart.JPG The fastest option is a pulse and direction signal. With the pulse input driver there is a 0.1ms delay from the pu...

Question: I want an open loop stepper motor to follow the motion of a closed loop step motor synchronized as close as possible. I am using the ASG/BSG output on the AZ driver as the pulse and direction signal on the CVD driver. The master is operating as expected, but the follower is miss stepping. ...

Question: I want a step motor to follow the motion of another step motor synchronized as close as possible, but am limited in the number of axis my PLC can control. Do you offer a product that can accommodate this? Our AZ, AR, NX can follow encoder signals. AZ series closed-loop high efficiency moto...

To follow up with this post, our AZ, AR, and NX series can follow encoder signals. AZ series closed-loop high efficiency stepper motor/driver systems (see phase difference input mode), AR series closed-loop high efficiency stepper motor/driver systems (see phase difference input mode), NX series ser...

Oriental Motor offers a wide range of motion control products. Our current Alpha step series are the AZ and AR series stepper motors. To understand which series is best suited for your application, it is important to know the differences between them. Below are some highlight features of the AR seri...

Question: What size power supply do I need for the multi axis driver? Main power supply The main power supply is used to power the steppers. The control power supply is used to power the control board, fan, and other circuitry. We recommend using 2 separate power supplies. One for the main power sup...

If you get an AL45 alarm on the AZ series, it is because the driver does not recognise the motor. The AZ series is constantly evolving with new products. It is currently composed of steppers, linear actuators, rack and pinion, grippers, hollow rotary actuators, and compact linear actuators. If you w...

For the BLE2 driver, you will need a connection cable between the motor to the driver. There are 2 different types of connection cables offered with this series. A forward facing or backward facing cable. It is important to note that the direction is not interchangeable. They are offered from 0.5-20...

For the BMU driver, you will need a connection cable between the motor to the driver. There are 2 different types of connection cables offered with this series. A forward facing or backward facing cable. It is important to note that the direction is not interchangeable. They are offered from 0.5-10 ...

To make the AR series absolute, you need to connect the battery to store the position. As an absolute system it will store the electrical home position even after power is removed. With an absolute system, you may not need a home or limit sensor. Without the battery, when you turn on the driver, you...

EtherCAT protocol CiA301 VS CiA402 Question: I want to use the AZD4A-KED multi axis driver with EtherCAT, but can’t run all 4 steppers at the same time because of the high amperage draw. Is there an alternative. Responce: The CiA CANopen embedded network is a bus system used to link multiple devices...
