AutoBlocks Abolsute Stepper Motors
Autoblocks offers the most capable integrated stepper motors on the market today. They include integrated drive and absolute encoder. Available with integrated programmable brake. Available sizes NEMA 8, 11, 17, 23, and 34. Add up to 10 motors to any autoblocks system with a single M12 cable for power and communication. Utilizing our innovative Auto-Code programming allows you to set up and run any axis in minutes including coordinated motion.
Product Description
Absolute Motors
The most capable integrated stepper motors on the market — and they scale themselves.
Autoblocks Absolute Motors combine a closed-loop stepper, drive, motion controller, and absolute encoder into a single compact package. Because motion control is distributed into each motor, the system scales by simply adding motors — no external drivers, no separate motion controller, no cabinet rebuild. A single M12 cable carries power and communication, and up to 10 motors daisy-chain on one Autoblocks system with full coordinated multi-axis motion out of the box. With AutoCode, any axis or coordinated group can be configured and running in minutes.
Highlights
- Coordinated distributed motion — motion control lives in the motors themselves; no external motion controller required
- Scales without cabinet hardware — add an axis by adding a motor, not a drive card
- Integrated closed-loop stepper, drive, and absolute encoder in one package
- No homing required at power-on (absolute encoding)
- Optional integrated programmable brake
- Single M12 cable for power and communication
- Up to 10 motors per Autoblocks system, daisy-chained
- AutoCode setup — coordinated motion configured in minutes
- Available in NEMA 8, 11, 17, 23, and 34 frame sizes
