FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AMCI's Compact, Powerful Stepper Drive Beats
Expectations
Terryville, CT July 8, 2009 – AMCI introduces a space
saving, powerful, 170V bus, 4.0
Amp microstepping driver. Standard features include switch
selectable microstep resolutions, automatic idle current reduction,
anti-resonance, short circuit protection, and over temperature
circuitry. No additional power supply is required, reducing
overall costs, as the SD17040C is an AC
line-powered drive. The SD17040C can drive 4, 6, or 8
lead step motors, Nema sizes 23-42.
The SD17040C is designed to withstand demanding applications,
with board-level components rated to 105°C (221°F).
With panel or side mounting options, the SD17040C can be installed
into tight spaces without supplemental fans or cooling aids.
Thermal issues are no concern with this compact drive. The
use of DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology in combination
with high quality transistors has enabled AMCI to customize
the drive’s performance for most applications, while
also reducing space within the unit. The drive’s exceptional
power combined with anti-resonance circuitry delivers the
smoothest, most reliable performance possible in a stepper
motor system.
AMCI’s SD17040C microstepping driver offers several
standard features from safety, to performance, to customization.
Below is an overview of what this microstepping driver has
to offer:
• Compact Size (2.1”W x 4.0”D x 6.2”H)
• 170V Bus, AC Line-Powered (No Additional Power Supply
Required)
• Switch Selectable Motor Current, 1.0-4.0 Amps
• (16) Switch Selectable Microstep Resolutions, up to
50,800 steps/rev.
• Selectable Self-Test Feature
• Interlock Safety Feature and Short Circuit Protection
• Automatic Idle Current Reduction, Fully Programmable
• Anti-Resonance
AMCI’s SD17040C stepper drive is 100% compatible with
all of AMCI’s stepper controllers and motors.
