Leadshine CS-D808 is a closed loop stepper drive. When used to drive a 2-phase stepper motor in frame sizes NEMA 17, 23, 24, or 34 with incremental rotary encoder, it can close the position loop between the motor and drive and therefore eliminate the loss of step problem in an open loop system. The CS-D808 adopts Leadshine advanced control algorithm. It is very easy to configure and setup. It It is ideal for upgrading open loop stepper systems, or replacing servo systems in some low to middle speed applications.
Compared with an open loop stepper system, a CS-D808 adopted closed loop stepper system can eliminate loss of step, make real-time position error correction, and use 100% available torque of the driven stepper motor. It can also power the driven stepper motor with reduced heating, lower noise, low vibration, …
When compared with a servo system, a CS-D808 adopted closed loop stepper system can have much higher low-to-middle-speed torque. such a control system also has the advantages of no tuning, no hunting, no overshooting, and much lower cost.
The Leadshine CS-D808 closed loop stepper drive is suggested to be implemented along with a compatible 2-phase stepper motor (usually NEMA 23, 24 and 34) with 1000-line encoder. That closed stepper system can be used to upgrade open loop stepper systems or replace some servo systems, especially in many small to median speed applications such as CNC routers, CNC mills, CNC laser cutters, CNC plasmas, lab automation instruments, plotters, medical equipment, electronic equipment, small packaging machines, etc.
