An electronic control technique that proportions the current in a step motor's windings to provide additional intermediate positions between poles. Produces smooth rotation over a wide speed range and high positional resolution.
a method of proportioning current so that the full steps of the step motor are broken into smaller, microsteps; a typical microstepping drive can provide up to 25,000 steps per revolution.
An electronic technique for increasing a step motor's position resolution and velocity smoothness by appropriately scaling the phase currents. Microstepping is also a technique used to reduce or eliminate the effects of system resonance at low speeds.
Some stepper motor drivers employ microstepping circuitry to increase a stepper motor’s resolution and rotational smoothness by applying intermediate amounts of winding currents.
The technique of electronically subdividing every complete step of a stepping motor.
A method of driving a step motor in which the full step angle of a motor is reduced electrically by separately controlling the amount of current to each motor phase.
The ability to divide a full step of a stepping motor into smaller increments. Microstepping Drivers divide each full step of a motor into 10 or more microsteps for fine positioning and more smooth motor movement.
The proportional control of energy in the coils of a stepper motor that allow the motor to move to or stop at locations other than the fixed magnetic/mechanical pole positions determined by the motor specifications. This capability facilitates the subdivision of full mechanical steps on a stepper motor into finer microstep locations that greatly smooth motor running operation and increase the resolution or number of discrete positions that a stepper motor can attain in each revolution.
