Ever run into these issues?

The table jerks on start/stop and runs unstable

Vibration is obvious during indexing, and the whole motion feels rough.

Position is lost on power‑off, so you have to re‑home every time

Restarting means wasting time finding the home position, dragging out cycle times.

Lost steps trigger equipment pauses or full stops

With open‑loop steppers, once a step is missed, all downstream stations go out of alignment – and maintenance costs climb.

The table is small, but the control hardware takes up too much space

Driver, controller, encoder cabling – making installation a headache.

💡

Root causes?①Open‑loop stepper control + a distributed system architecture. ②Motion control algorithms that can’t keep up.
The fix: integrate drive, control, encoder, and communication right into the motor body, and add closed‑loop feedback with precise control algorithms – that solves it all.

Nema17 closed loop integrated stepper

PUSIROBOT closed‑Loop stepper – integrates the stepper motor, absolute encoder, PMC006 series drive/controller, and CAN/RS485 bus communication into a standard 42mm×42mm motor flange, with IP64 water‑ and dust‑proof rating.

Four Core Advantages

① Closed‑loop control – no lost steps

Built‑in incremental encoder (4000 PPR) or 14‑bit multi‑turn absolute encoder continuously monitors the rotor position and compares it with the commanded position. Any deviation is instantly corrected, fundamentally eliminating step loss. This all‑in‑one closed‑loop stepper achieves servo‑class positioning accuracy at a fraction of the servo cost.

② Multi‑turn absolute encoder – position retained after power‑off

With the 14‑bit multi‑turn absolute encoder, absolute position data is always stored. After power‑loss, unexpected stop, or emergency stop, the system restarts with the exact position known – no re‑homing required. For multi‑station indexing tables, that means production can resume immediately, saving significant auxiliary time.

③ PP (Positioning Profile) mode – smooth motion and fast settling

Supports adjustable acceleration/deceleration profiles – start speed, stop speed, acceleration, and deceleration are all independently configurable. In PP mode, you can update the next motion parameters on the fly, enabling seamless transitions without stopping. For continuous multi‑station indexing, the speed profile is smooth and impact‑free, and settling time is greatly shortened.

④ IP64 protection – rugged in harsh environments

Sealed aviation connectors and enclosed construction provide IP64 water‑ and dust‑proof rating, plus a wide temperature range from ‑40°C to 80°C. Whether in coolant‑splashed machining cells, dusty assembly lines, or laboratory chambers with thermal cycling, the table operates reliably.
