WOOD DALE, IL
– Danaher Motion introduces a complete, fully optimized stepper solution consisting of a Pacific Scientific P7000 Series microstepping drive combined with a Pacific Scientific T, N, or K Series stepper motor. The new combination is an ideal solution for single or multi-axis applications requiring high-speed performance or low-speed smoothness.

Pacific Scientific T, N or K series stepper motors provide some of the highest torques in the industry, while the Pacific Scientific P7000 drives use multi-step positioning to convert full step indexing commands into smooth microstepping resolution. “This is the only microstepping system available today with this functionality,” says Bill Green, Vice President of Marketing – Motor Products. “It allows users to significantly increase motion performance without having to redesign the machine control architecture. In short, it provides a cost-effective, fully-optimized and extremely reliable high-speed system at a very attractive price.”

Currently available for AC operation, the system features a Motion Node option and an RS232 or RS485 multi-drop serial interface with an industry standard ModBus RTU protocol. Options to be available in the future include Can Open and a full-featured indexer.
