The speed in the LSTEP can be adjusted from 0,01 to 40 revolutions / second. For applications where low speeds are required, there is a possibility of speed reduction, with which it is possible to reduce the speed by factor 100. In our example with 1mm spindle pitch, the slowest speed would be 100nm / second. The max. number of 40 revolutions / second can only be reached with suitable motors (low impedance with slighter Inductivity), and depends on the available motor voltage. In the following you will find a list of the different control types with the available motor voltage. ECO-STEP 24 Volt...

The LANG positioning-system LSTEP is a high-resolution stepping-motor-control for up to three axes equipped with 2/4 phase stepping motors. The dynamic micro step operation enables fast positioning movements with high accuracy. Thermal radiation is drastically reduced due to pulse-width-modulated power amplifiers used in the electronic control-circuitry. Cooling fans are not required. This kind of positioning system is therefore perfectly suited for clean-room applications. The LSTEP may be operated by hand-terminal CommanderӔ or in combination with a PC via its serial interface RS232. Joystick-mode...
