Description

Designed primarily for R&D and light production environments, the EZ Motor controller includes everything needed to start motor-powered motion in minutes. Use any PC to connect to the controller. The base configuration includes the following:

• Integrated Controls Enclosure: Motion controller, power supply, and all necessary components already pre-integrated
• EZ Programmer Software: No-code visual programming for creating sophisticated automated motion quickly and easily

Features:

• Control of 4 axes of motion
• Programming capabilities include timers, sequences, if/then logic, pauses, move absolute, move relative, support for linear slides, motor homing, & more
• Real-Time Display (via PC) shows cycle count, start time, elapsed time, and tools for troubleshooting
• Emergency Off Button – Performs controlled stop of all axes to stop all motion
• Plug and play setup; no assembly required

Technical Specifications:

• Motor Type: Stepper Motor
• Home/Limit Switch Inputs: Supports 8 digital PNP (or Reed Switch) limit switch Inputs (configured with M8 3-pin male connectors) for use triggering stops and defining home positions
• Power: Standard 120V
• Motor Drive Microsteps: 64 (effective 0.028 deg rotational resolution with 200-step (1.8°) motor)
• Motor voltage: 24V DC
• I/O: 4 Digital Out (Sourcing), 4 Digital In on M12 Connector, 24VDC
• Motor connectors: 7/8” 4-pin (power) and 8-pin M12 (encoder)
• Power: Standard 120V (240W Max Power Consumption)
• Size: 22.3” (incl. handles) or 18.9” (enclosure) long x 14.0” deep x 6.6” tall
• Weight: 15.2 lbs (enclosure only, no actuators or cables)

Motor Requirements (if providing your own motor)

• Max output from controller to motor: 3.0 A
• Minimum load inductance: 0.5 mH
• Stepper Motor Type: Bipolar 2 phase
• Maximum frequency at which drive will command position changes to motor: 6 MHz
• On special request controller can be configured to run motors on 20-60v DC to meet higher load driving requirements.

Motor Bundle 1 (NEMA 17): 

• Four NEMA 17 stepper motors (200 steps). 
• Includes encoders for closed loop control (1,000 steps per revolution). 
• Four home switches and four limit switches with pre-configured plug-and-play M8 connectors. 
• Four pre-configured plug-and-play motor cables with 7/8” and M12 power & encoder connectors, respectively. 

Motor Bundle 2 (NEMA 23): 

• Same as Motor Bundle 1, but NEMA 23 motors instead of NEMA 17 motors 

Applications:

The EZ Motor controller is ideal for:

• Life cycle testing
• Developing new manufacturing process
• Proof of concept or prototype automation
• R&D activities
• Design verification & validation
• Automating manual motion tasks and/or fixtures
• Assembly processes
• Other innovative uses by engineering, R&D, or manufacturing teams
