Stepper Motor Operation in PCB Control
Stepper motor operation is all about controlling the current to excitation windings, which in turn alters the motor’s magnetic field synthesis direction to enable rotation. The torque of the motor is determined by the magnitude of these magnetic fields, while the step angle is dependent on the rotational displacement per pulse signal.
One way to enhance the resolution of the motor is through motor subdivision, which involves reducing step angles. This can be achieved by implementing methods such as constant amplitude uniform rotation of current vectors. By adopting this approach, motor vibration and noise can be minimized, ensuring stable operation – a crucial factor in PCB control.
These adjustments are made with the aim of optimizing motor performance to meet the precise operational demands in PCB manufacturing and inspection processes.
