Paul will highlight the AlphaStep AZ Series family of motion control products supported by popular networking technologies, built into the drivers. In addition, Paul will also discuss information monitoring abilities, predictive maintenance, and safety functions.
When you attend this webinar, you will learn:
- Benefits of networking
- AZ Series advantages vs servos for position control, robots, and more
- Monitoring, predictive maintenance tools, and safety
- AZ Series family of products and application examples
【Video】What is AlphaStep AZ Series?
The AlphaStep AZ Series stepper motors offer high efficiency, low vibration and incorporate our newly developed Mechanical Absolute Encoder for absolute-type positioning without battery back-up or external sensors to buy.
【White Paper】Development of AZ Series Compact Driver
In recent years, automated devices such as articulated robots have been getting smaller and lighter thus increasing the need to place drivers closer to the motor to save space. The AZD-KRD compact driver has a smaller volume than the conventional product due to its radical design.

Size reduction was achieved by:
- eliminating switches
- replacing I/O control with RS-485 communication
- redesigning the structure of the connectors and case

【Engineering Note】The Choice Between Servo Motors and Stepper Motors
The best motor is the one that meets the application requirements. However, when both servo motors and stepper motors satisfy the basic requirements of a positioning application, it's important to have a deeper understanding of the two technologies to make an informed decision.
This blog post focuses on the differences between servo motors and stepper motors and explains how closed-loop stepper motors are closing the gap.
