USB stepper-motor controllers for 2 or 4 axes with interpolation and LabVIEW-based control software.

The TMC-USB series are USB-connected pulse controllers for two or four stepping-motor axes. The LabVIEW-based control software is easy to operate and supports secondary development for integration into existing systems; parameters for compatible stages are stored in the controller, so a stage can be run as soon as its model is selected. Axes can be driven individually or together, and the controller can take the place of a PLC in automated production lines and experimental setups.

Key Features

  • 2- or 4-channel stepping-motor pulse output, optocoupler isolated, up to 4 MHz
  • Linear interpolation on any 2 to 3 axes, circular interpolation on any 2 axes, continuous interpolation
  • Speed can be changed during motion; logic position, real position, speed and acceleration readable in real time
  • Per-axis inputs for left/right limit and origin sensors, plus A/B-phase encoder inputs
  • Up to 8 optocoupler inputs and 8 open-collector outputs per axis
  • Software displays the parameters of all axes on one screen
  • Front-panel emergency stop (halts all axes), power indicator and USB port

Typical Applications

  • Automated production lines
  • Automated experimental equipment
  • Multi-axis motorized stage systems
  • Scanning and positioning in optical setups
