The Complete Motion Control Package
|
Would you like to automate a task but don't know how? Have you looked through some motion control catalogs and been shocked by the complexity? Most suppliers expect you to select and match motors, drivers, power supplies, and cables, then write your own software. We've cut through the confusion and created the complete motion control solution for those who don't want to design their own. The MD-2 Dual Stepper Motor System contains everything you need to accomplish motion control with an IBM style personal computer. No cards to install, no cables to build and no components to match. Simply connect to the parallel port just like a printer, load the software, and GO! Within minutes you'll have complete control over the direction, position, and speed of each motor. Up to 6 motors (3 MD-2's) can be connected to your computer for those multi-axis projects. Programming is simple with our interactive motion control programs and DOS command-line interpreter. Custom programs are easy to create using our subroutine libraries. Each MD-2 system includes 2 stepper motors, 2 10' motor cables, printer port cable, 2 home switches, drive/power supply box, software and extensive documentation. The MD-2 system can be operated from an AC outlet or from a battery. You must have an IBM compatible personal computer with a parallel printer port.
Each MD-2 system contains 2 stepper motors, 2 home
switches, 2 10' motor cables, printer port cable, drive/power supply box, software and extensive documentation. All models except the basic MD-2 also have an
input/output port which gives the user 2 digital outputs and 3 digital inputs.
Specifications
| MD-2A | |
|---|---|
| Motors: | size #23, 2.25" body diameter, 2.25" long, .25" shaft diameter, .75" shaft length. |
| Resolution: | .9 degrees (400 steps per revolution) in half-step mode. |
| Speed: | 1000 half-steps per second in start/stop mode under no load, 10,000 with ramping. |
| Torque: | 50 in/oz holding torque. |
| The MD-2a is similar to our MD-2 but incorporates our high performance 'chopper' technology resulting in faster operation. A software controlled digital input/output port is also provided which can be used to read switches and sensors or used to drive relays. Compatible with all of our positioning tables. Shipping weight: 12 lbs. | |
| MD-2B | |
| Motors: | size #23, 2.25" body diameter, 4" long, .25" shaft diameter, .75" shaft length. |
| Resolution: | .9 degrees (400 steps per revolution) in half-step mode. |
| Speed: | 1000 half-steps per second in start/stop mode under no load, 10,000 with ramping. |
| Torque: | 150 in/oz holding torque. |
| Having 3 times the torque of the MD-2a system, the MD-2b can be used with our X and XY positioning tables and robotic workcells to move larger payloads faster. Not compatible with our RT-12 rotary positioning table or BR-2 due to the motor length. Shipping weight: 15 lbs. | |
| Cat No. | Product Description | Price |
| MD-2A | 50 in/oz torque, .9 degree steps, Input/Output Port | $699.95 |
| MD-2B | 150 in/oz torque, .9 degree steps, Input/Output Port | $999.95 |
