Product Description:
The ME4-055-03, a high-performance multi-axis stepper controller for commercial environments, is a component of Copley Controls' Bantam M-Axis Series. The controller is specifically designed for precise motion control applications. The controller, which is renowned for its compact design, is well-suited for advanced automation duties due to its ability to support flexible configurations for stepper motors and servo operation.
With a continuous current of 3 A per axis, the ME4-055-03 multi-axis stepper controller DC-powered drive may work from 14 to 55 VDC. Cyclic Synchronous Position (CSP), Profile Position, Microstepping, and Homing are some of the control modes it offers. For even more flexibility, it also supports Indexer and PVT modes for motion control. In addition to technical specifications like Gearing and Camming, it provides a full complement of stepper motor modes, including Position, Velocity, and Torque (Servo Mode). For reliable and accurate motor feedback, the controller is compatible with a variety of feedback types that include incremental encoders, Hall sensors, and auxiliary encoders. To facilitate efficient communication with external systems, the controller is equipped with 24 high-speed programmable digital inputs and 8 MOSFET outputs that are compatible with 24 V. As a supplementary interface for programming and diagnostics, RS-232 is offered; however, EtherCAT is used for primary communication management.
With dimensions of 101.6 mm x 76.2 mm x 20.83 mm, the ME4-055-03 multi-axis stepper controller is ideal for uses where there is limited room. For accurate load handling, it uses Cyclic Synchronous Torque (CST) mode for torque control, and it provides profile and cyclic synchronous modes for velocity control. Servo control modes for interpolated positioning are also incorporated into its design, which enhances its utility in industrial automation.
