MSC-1000 - Micro-Step Controller

MSC-1000™ Micro-Step Controller

  • The Micro-Step Controller is a microprocessor based Stepper Motor Controller designed to operate with Computer Weld Technology's HSA-2000™ and/or VSA-2000™ precision slide assemblies. The "Micro-Step Controller" can be used to interface other stepper motor driven components, and with the appropriate mechanical and electrical specifications, to the WSC-1000™ Weld Sequence Control.
  • When used with the "Weld Sequence Control" the MSC-1000 receives position and velocity command data from the WSC-1000 by means of a Local Area Network (LAN), making the unit convenient and easy to install and simple to use.Computer Weld.
  • Technology's "Micro-Step Controller" can be used as a stand alone control, when programmed directly from a personal computer or terminal, and has the ability to store up to 50 move and/or velocity commands.
