A stepping motor can be driven with open-loop or closed-loop control. The major disadvantage of open-loop control is that it is subjected to resonance and instability in certain speed range, and that there is no way to check stalling or error in position. In this paper, a closed-loop control system consisting of a microcomputer, a hybrid stepping motor, a drive, a lead screw, and an encoder which is used as a position sensor is developed. A control program is programmed in assembly language for real time control and the versatile interface adapter(VIA) is used as the interface with the microcomputer. The experimental results of the stepping motor were eliminated on all kinds of inertia load, and maximum start stop pulse rate and maximum slewing pulse rate were also increased about twice respectively.

In this paper, we implemented LED beam forming communication system controlled by stepping motor. ATMega1284 was used as a MCU of main control board which has two main external IO, one is RS232 for connection with PC, the other is PORT for connection with motor driving board. Stepping motor rotated 360 degree when provided 160 clock and its rotation radius was increased by Archimedian Spiral. So LED can provide its light anywhere in the space and its beam forming was controlled by PC connected with RS232 of main control board. The action of beam forming was verified via actual HW/SW implementation.

A 2-axis gimbal system is one of main disturbance sources affecting on image jitter response of a satellite. The gimbal system can be rotated on its azimuth and elevation axes, resulting in variation of its moment of inertia and structural modes, so that generates non-linear vibration characteristics. In order to estimate the jitter response, it is an indispensable process to characterize micro-vibration disturbance of the 2-axis gimbal system. In the present research, the vibration characteristics of the 2-axis gimbal system was investigated with respect to the types of stepping motors. The micro-vibration tests were performed for 2-phase and 5-phase stepping motors. The test results show that the disturbance can be reduced with vibration attenuation ratio of 60% by replacing the 2-phase stepping motor with the 5-phase one.

This paper presents a development of the control algorithm and Pick & Placer. The Pick & Placer provides a powerful multi-task system that includes both graphical and remote interface. Users can easily set up sorting parameters and record important data including wafer number, data, and operator information. This System sets up a dustproof device and massively machined components to provide an extremely stable sorting environment. Precise resolution and accuracy result from using machine vision, a pneumatic slide drive and close -looped positioning.

본 연구는 펄스 반사법을 이용하여 금속 재료 단면의 영상을 얻는데 그 목적이 있다. 기존의 탐 상기는 대부분 A - 스캔 방식으로 결과를 전시하여 검사자가 직접 CRT 상에 나타난 결과를 판독해야 하므로 숙련자라 하더라도 어느정도 오차가 수반되며 판독에 시간이 요하는 등 불편이 따른다. 본 연구 에서는 판독 과정을 자동화함으로써 정확도와 검사 속도를 개선하였으며 탐촉 지점은 스텝핑모터를 이 용하여 일정 간격으로 제어하였다. 도 탐상 결과를 B-스캔 방식으로 영상 처리함으로써 재료 단면의 상 태 파악을 용이하게 하였다.

This paper describes a study of a stabilisation scheme of a stepping motor in the driving systems of the Fiber Optic Gyrocompass absolutely required a constant speed and a precise position control with fine step angle. The new stabilisation scheme combining microstepping control and frequency modulation is developed which enables the experimental machine to be capable of stable running to a stepping frequency in the range 5 times the open-loop stall frequency.

A comprehensive analytical study of total-intake current waveforms is described. In particular, the characteristics of the modulation envelope of the waveforms are the subject of detailed investigation. It is shown that the lower modulation envelope of the total intake current is capable of providing a signal suitable for use in stabilising a variable-reluctance stepping motor.

A 2-axis gimbal system is one of main disturbance sources affecting image jitter response of a satellite. The gimbal system comprises azimuth stage and elevation stage, and these pointing mechanism can be rotated by stepping motors about its azimuth and elevation axes simultaneously. Because of the complex and coupled dynamic motion of the gimbal system, its moment of inertia and structural modes can be changed according to the system configuration, and thus the gimbal system generates complicated and non-linear disturbance characteristics. In order to improve the jitter response of a spacecraft, it is an indispensable process to reduce the micro-vibration disturbance level of the antenna system. In the present research, a 2-axis gimbal system was manufactured and then its micro-vibration test was performed in terms of two types of stepping motors(2-phase and 5-phase). The test results show that the disturbance level of the gimbal system can be reduced by replacing the 2-phase stepping motor with the 5-phase one, and the average disturbance attenuation ratio is 56 % in peak level and 48 % in standard deviation level. The experimental results confirm that it is an efficient jitter reduction method to adopt a high-phase stepping motor.

A driving system of a dynamic FOG compass with a stabilized platform is described. A stepping motor adopted as a driving motor is required to maintain a stable operation with constant speed and low oscillation for the proper operation of the FOG compass itself. The previous stabilization scheme operated on frequency-modulated supply is modified to include fuzzy control algorithm. The proposed scheme has advantages, particularly in the size, weight and flexibility of the driving system.

This paper describes a control algorithm and test results of an automated manual transmission clutch actuated by a stepping motor. The control algorithm extracts driver's demand from CAN signals and decides the exact timing to engage or disengage the clutch based on the demand. A pulse signal is generated to drive the clutch and the travel of the clutch can be calculated by accumulating the pulse signal. An auto code generation method was introduced in implementing the control logic to the micro-processor of the prototype controller and a series of basic tests were carried out to validate its performance.
