SureStep™ System Introduction
SureStep open-loop and inclusive position verification (semi-closed loop) stepping
systems provide simple and accurate control of position and speed where lower
power and cost are considerations. The SureStep family of stepping components
includes power supplies, drives, motors, and cables. The AutomationDirect
family of PLCs or other indexers and motion controllers can be used to provide
the signals that are “translated” by the microstepping drives into precise
movement of the stepping motor shaft.
