The ZETA8 stand-alone, packaged microstepping drives incorporate patented, breakthrough techniques know as Active Damping™ and Electronic Viscosity™ for the smoothest and highest quality motion. The ZETA8 provides 8Apk output, a resolution of 50,800 steps/rev for excellent motor speed and torque and accepts industry standard step/direction or CW/CCW command signals for easy motion controller connectivity.

Markets:

• Semicon/Electronics

• Packaging

• Scientific and Energy Research

• Laser based Manufacturing

Features/Benefits:

• Standard step-and-direction input or CW/CCW input is compatible with any motion controller

 • Active Damping™:

 - Higher acceleration than conventional step systems allows more efficient use of motor capacity

 - Decreases motor vibration and increases shaft power for better high speed process quality

 • Electronic Viscosity™

- Reduces settling time for increased throughput

- Increases slow speed smoothness/reduce velocity ripple for better inspection quality

  - Reduces audible noise

 • Automatic Standby Current Reduction reduces motor temperature to minimize impact on object under test

Applications:

• Inspection and scanning machines

• Package and label printing

• Laser etching and cutting

Protection Circuit

 • Motor short circuits (phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground)

 • Overtemperature

 • Undervoltage

 • Power dump (dissipates excess energy caused by load regeneration)

Physical

 • Drive status indicators: power, step input, over temperature and motor fault

 • Removable connectors for easy installation

 • Selectable damping for optimized performance
