Feedback on stepper motors for better positioning and holding (and less ringing)
Stepper motors are a top choice for many motion and position control applications. They’re available in a wide range of sizes and torque ratings and are significantly less expensive than high-end servomotors. So, let’s talk about ways of raising stepper-motor performance to that of servomotors b...Read more -
Open-loop stepper motor versus closed-loop stepper motor systems
Step motor systems are a bedrock of the motion control industry. We’ll look at the differences between open-loop system vs. closed-loop system and also explain the latest developments making step motor systems even faster, quieter, and more energy efficient than ever before. Step motor systems h...Read more -
How to prevent stepper motor losing step?
Stepper motor is an open-loop control motor which transforms electric pulse signal into angular displacement or linear displacement. In the case of no step losses, the motor speed and stop position depend on the pulse signal frequency and the pulse count instead of the variation of the load. Whe...Read more -
FAQ: What is closed-loop stepper motor control with step-loss compensation?
Closed-loop stepper-motor control with step-loss compensation is a common performance-boosting algorithm for stepper systems. In one prevalent form of step-loss compensation, an angle sensor or encoder tracks the motor-rotor position and any missed steps. Then the controller records its commands...Read more -
Frequently Asked Questions About CNC Machines
Q: What is an axis in a CNC machine? A: In a CNC machine, an axis is a direction in which the machine tool can move or rotate. The axes on a CNC machine are used to describe its movement capability, typically in a straight line (linear) or around an axis of rotation. Q: What are the different CN...Read more -
How to Choose the Right Number of Axes for Your CNC Machine?
When deciding on the appropriate number of axes for your CNC machine, several factors must be considered to match the machine’s capabilities with your manufacturing requirements: 1. Complexity of Parts: Evaluate the geometric complexity of the parts you need to manufacture. Simple parts with 2D ...Read more -
How Does a 5-Axis CNC Machine Enhance Machining?
A 5-axis CNC machine enhances machining by allowing for the simultaneous movement of tools or parts along five different axes. This capability significantly increases flexibility, precision, and efficiency in manufacturing complex and detailed parts. Here are the primary ways in which 5-axis CNC...Read more -
What Are the Benefits of a 4-Axis CNC Mill?
Let’s focus on the technical parameters that justify 4-axis CNC mill advantages: 1. Enhanced Flexibility and Complexity: The 4-axis mill introduces rotational movement around the X-axis (known as the A-axis). This additional axis allows for the machining of more complex geometries that ...Read more -

How Does a 3-Axis CNC Machine Work?
A 3-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine operates by moving a cutting tool or workpiece along three primary axes: X, Y, and Z. The X-axis controls the horizontal movement left to right, the Y-axis manages the horizontal movement front to back, and the Z-axis handles the vertical movemen...Read more -
What Are the Different Types of CNC Machine Axes?
CNC machines commonly operate along three to five primary axes of movement: 1. X-Axis: This horizontal axis allows for lateral movement to the left and right. It is essential for positioning the cutting tool or workpiece in a precise horizontal location. 2. Y-Axis: Another horizontal axis, the Y...Read more -
9 Frequently Asked Questions of Gantry System for Automation Manufacturing
What is a gantry system in 3D printing? A gantry system in 3D printing is a motion system that uses rails and stepper motors to move a print head or extruder along the X, Y, and Z axes to fabricate 3D printed parts. This allows for precise control over the position and movement of the hot end an...Read more
