VXM® Calculation of Steps, Direction and Speed - Direction is relative to the device the motor is on. On screw drive actuators like UniSlides®, BiSlides® and XSlides™, positive is the direction moving away from the motor. - On worm gear type Rotary Tables like the Velmex B4800 or B5990, positive is normally counter clockwise (CCW.) To convert from “real” units to steps when using a 1.8°, divide the distanced desired to move by the Advance Per Step. (Distance / Advance per Step = Steps for the VXM) Example #1: To move 3 inches with the BiSlide E04 lead screw (3 ÷ 0.001 = 3,000) requires a...

Shortest Advance with VXM and 1.8° (200 step) Step Motor The increment of a single half-step* is BiSlide® XSlide™ UniSlide® Lead Screw Pitch > · Calculated with VXM™ Motor Controller which operates at 400 half-steps per revolution · Standard motor resolution is 1.8º per full step or 0.9º per half-step with the VXM *System step resolution or smallest repeatable move is dependent on system orientation, rigidity, friction, wear and applied load. † Velmex also offers Vexta High Resolution 0.9° motors. When driven by the VXM, resolution is 800 steps/rev. This effectively doubles the resolution...
