2025 DRIVE TECHNOLOGY Ships in ALL CANDCNC CONTROLLERS!
NEW TECHNOLOGY brings BETTER, FASTER and SMOOTHER motion for low cost conventional STEPPER MOTORS. Advanced internal protection keeps your drivers safe from output shorts, cross wiring, overheating and open coil /bad connections. The SmoothMover II is a new generation of stepper drivers that brings modern high speed microcircuits and advanced engineering to the motion control industry. It blends new control and sensing techniques and modern dedicated microprocessor advances to a segment that is decades old. The advantages of steppers: low cost, no required tuning and a wide range of standard sizes and ratings are well known. Their downside has been the inherent physics of “stepping” from one pole to the next and the resulting vibration and noise along with resonance and lack of torque control. Steppers are especially noisy at lower RPM. While micro-stepping and anti-resonance has helped that, there still remains a lot of issues, servos are smoother and provide feedback but come at a high price and with a more complex setup and tuning requirements.
The SmoothMover II offers a solution to a lot of the stepper issues. Its Adaptive Torque lets the motor work at whatever torque it needs to move the load so it runs cooler and smoother. The internal step blender converts discreet hard steps (16 micro steps) into a 256 step smooth current sine wave. It’s been know for a long time that steppers run better on an AC waveform than pulsed DC. The downside was it reduced torque at higher RPM and worked better on fixed (lower) RPM installs, not the wide range of speed needed on a CNC machine.
Each drive has built in overload, over temp and open leg detection and our ability to detect and instantly shut down motor power and motion, reliability is increased. Our system “talks” to each driver and can report the driver that shut down and the reported fault.
GETTING A REBATE ON THE OLDER GECKO G251-2 Module:
If you are UPGRADING a CandCNC Controller to the new SmoothMover II Dual Modules you can get a REBATE on the existing modules that makes the price even more attractive: you can get up to $80.00 per module back for usable (working) modules: Here is how:
Returned Modules must arrive in good working and undamaged condition .
Modules must pass a full operational test under load.in our lab.
Modules mus t be in good physical condition .
Modules must be returned prepaid within 30 days of your receipt of the new SmoothMover Modules.
Rebate will be in the same methos as the payment (i.e, credit to CC account or Paypal ).
Payment will be made within 10 working days of the returned items reaching our facility .
Rejected modules will not be return unless sender agrees to pay rerun shipping costs.
Returns MUST be done Using our online RMA form .
This offer is for G251-2 Dual Driver Modules from CandCNC ONLY and is on a one to one basis: One rebate per one new SmoothMover II Dual Module purchased.
