Drive gives "servo like" performance

The new Pacific Scientific P7000 drive from Danaher Motion features open-loop stall detection, therefore combining the lower cost of a stepper system with the performance of servo drive arrangement

The new Pacific Scientific P7000 drive from Danaher Motion features open-loop stall detection, therefore combining the lower cost of a stepper system with the performance of servo drive arrangement.

The auto-smoothing drive (otherwise known as Micro-stepping) accepts standard full step pulse commands from the indexer, but inserts fine micro-steps to smooth coarse low speed motion.

This can be used to increase the machine performance, but without the need to make provision in the control system.

The P7000 is the only drive to offer this functionality today.

Available for AC or DC operation, the P7000 is designed to power any 2-phase NEMA step motor.

The drive features simple-to-use software set-up using an intuitive PC GUI or DIP switches for standard motor types and a choice of base step and direction drive or indexing option.

Its advanced current auto-tuning techniques make it an ideal solution for single or multi-axis applications that require high-speed performance or low speed smoothness.

A motion node option that supports ModBus RTU, CAN Open, or DeviceNet network protocols adds enhanced indexing capabilities at significant savings when compared to the cost of a standard indexer.

Because the P7000 can connect to industry-standard networks, users can add accurate positioning at a fraction of the cost of using a fully-programmable controller.

The P7000 is an intelligent drive that connects to the machine control network of their choice.
