MT2USB is a small size (60 x 80 mm - 2,36 x 3,15 inch) low power stand-alone control device which can control both two bipolar and two unipolar stepper motors (i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors, and 6 lead center tapped motors) and their respective limit/home detection sensors (one for each axis, with programmable polarity).
This device was designed to manage high precision single plane x-y positioning systems.
Although MT2USB and MT2USBMS were conceived mainly to control finite rotation movements, they can also work with direct cycle motors and, for exemplum, they can also be used as speed control device.
MT2USBMS is managed by a USB interface with a dedicated protocol. It is possible to set out the motor rotation speed. The rotation speed is not linearly reached: acceleration and deceleration follow a profile optimizing the motor supplied couple.
The system comes with demo software and driver interface for Windows, compatible with all recent operating systems (including Windows Vista and Windows 7 either 32-bit and 64-bit ones).
MT2USB
Speed: from 35 up to 1000 half-step/second.
Input voltage: 5 - 36 VDC (unregulated).
Output current: max 0,6A/ph (1,2A of peak).
MT2USBMS
Speed: from 18 up to 500 micro-step/second.
Input voltage: 4,5 - 30 VDC (unregulated).
Output current: max 0,75A/ph (0,85A of peak).
MT2USBMS is equipped with PWM current control system on the motor phases. This device can reach a movement precision of 1/8 of step.
