Boosting Stepper Motor Performance: Position Control on a Budget
This has been made possible by a new generation of kit encoders (modular position sensors) that can be quickly and easily added to standard motors, providing accurate and reliable closed-loop position control. As well as providing absolute position measurements, these new sensors offer self-powered, maintenance-free multi-turn functionality. This paper, describes ways of bringing stepper motor performance closer to servo motors levels by adding feedback devices.
