Closed Loop Steppers Drive New Motion Control Applications

Step motors are a popular solution for motion applications that benefit from low cost and brushless (externally phased) operation.

Step motors traditionally use an open-loop microstepping control scheme, but the more advanced control technique, the closed loop stepper, is increasingly being used in its place.

Closed loop steppers are now finding adoption in a range of cost-sensitive industrial applications such as textile machinery, coil winding, circuit board production and pick-and-place machines, where high rates of acceleration are critical.
