LSTEP PCIexpress

For high-precision positioning operations

The LSTEP PCIexpress positioning system is a powerful stepper motor controller designed for up to four axes, optimized for 2- and 3-phase stepper motors. As a compact PCIe plug-in card, it integrates control and amplifier functions, fitting easily into IPC enclosures, making it ideal for space- and cost-sensitive applications.

Its dynamic microstepping operation enables fast and precise positioning, while the user-friendly, automatic controller tuning ensures easy commissioning. Featuring integrated predictive maintenance, the system supports proactive servicing to optimize performance. The complimentary WIN-Commander software, complete with an integrated oscilloscope function, allows convenient configuration and analysis of your setup.

Communication over the PCIexpress bus ensures seamless integration, complemented by the free LANG API for straightforward connectivity to your software environment. An optionally available industrial PC, specifically designed for the LSTEP PCIexpress, features a robust construction and optimal interfaces.

The LSTEP PCIexpress combines high precision, flexibility, and predictive maintenance, making it the ideal solution for all requirements in precise multi-axis positioning. For further information and customization options, we are happy to assist you.
