This board is made for microstepping for stepper motors. It can attach directly to the controller's 96-pin DIN connector, with no cables required, and Galil's SDM-20620 works well with 2-axis applications. The SDM-20640 measures 6.92 × 5.10 inches. It includes four microstepping drives on one board, each capable of driving a two-phase bipolar stepper motor running at 18V dc to 60V dc at up to 3.5 Amps. They also put out 64 microsteps per full step or 256 steps per full cycle, for 12,800 steps per revolution for a standard 200-step motor, with a maximum step rate generated by the controller of 3 million microsteps/second.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
