THE ULTIMATE STEPPER MOTOR CONTROLLER & DRIVER

Servotrack™

Bridging the Gap Between Servo, Brushless DC, and Stepper Performance

Our patented ServoTrack™ Technology makes it easy and cost effective to shift from stepping motor to servo performance. ServoTrack™ is a DYNAMIC CLOSED LOOP MOTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGY that eliminates unintentional stalling due to transient loads, and enables rotary torque and linear force control as an integral function of your design. AND you will NEVER lose functional control of your motor.

Why Servotrack™?

Different variations of closed loop stepper systems have been introduced to the market in recent years. Unfortunately, most all of them accomplish the task through a form of PID (Proportional–Integral–Derivative) software, an algorithm similar to that designed for use in servo motor systems. As a result, optimization requires tuning of the closed loop stepper system, much like a servo system.

As in the servo systems that they closely relate to, most closed loop stepper systems require a high-resolution encoder in order to get feedback and thus achieve the benefits of closing the loop. Response from these software-based controls is also limited to processing speed. As functionality is added or faster loop times are needed to maintain load requirements, higher speed processing becomes necessary and system cost increases.

In contrast, ServoTrack™ accomplishes the benefits of “real time” closed loop control through the use of hardware, not software, with real time nanosecond updates.

SnapTrack™

SnapTrack™ is our user-friendly software component to ServoTrack™. It utilizes block programming, an intuitive drag-and-drop method, to customize and run your stepper motor system. With SnapTrack™, you will be able to create your own customizable interface to suit your application needs.
