Country of Origin
This drive was engineered and manufactured in the United States by Pacific Scientific (now part of the Kollmorgen / Danaher Motion group).
Application Fields
The 6410-024 is widely used in automation requiring incremental motion:
- Lab Automation: Precise liquid handling and sample positioning.
- Semiconductor Equipment: Wafer handling and positioning stages.
- Packaging Machinery: Labeling, indexing, and small-scale conveyor control.
- CNC & 3D Printing: Axis control for small-format milling and additive manufacturing.
- Textile Equipment: Pattern control and yarn tensioning systems.
Product Usage Instructions
- Mounting: Install the drive on a flat, thermally conductive surface to assist with heat dissipation. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit.
- DIP Switch Configuration: Use the onboard DIP switches to set the desired output current and step resolution (microstepping) before applying power.
- Wiring: Connect the DC power supply (24-75V) to the power terminals. Connect the 4-lead or 8-lead stepper motor to the motor output terminals. Use shielded cables to minimize EMI.
- Control Signals: Apply 5V Step and Direction signals to the opto-isolated inputs. If using a 24V controller, external current-limiting resistors must be added.
- LED Diagnostics: Monitor the “Status” LED. A steady green indicates normal operation; flashing red patterns indicate a specific fault code (e.g., over-current or low voltage).
Product Technical Description
The 6410-024-N-N-N utilizes a sophisticated bipolar chopper constant-current drive technique. Technically, it employs “Digital Electronic Damping,” which suppresses the mid-range instability and resonance common in stepper motors. This ensures the motor maintains high torque even at high speeds and eliminates the “jitter” often seen during low-speed microstepping. The “N-N-N” suffix indicates a standard configuration without specialized options like high-speed indexing or custom connectors, making it a versatile, general-purpose component for standard 2-phase motors.
Q&A (Common Questions)
Q: Can I run this drive on 110V AC power? A: No. This is a DC-input drive. You must use a regulated or unregulated DC power supply between 24V and 75V.
Q: How do I set the output current? A: The output current is selected using DIP switches 1, 2, and 3. Refer to the table printed on the drive cover or the manual to match the setting to your motor’s rated current.
Q: What is the benefit of microstepping? A: Microstepping divides each full step into smaller increments, which results in much smoother motor rotation, reduced resonance, and higher positioning resolution.
Q: Is this drive compatible with NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 motors? A: Yes, as long as the motor’s current rating falls within the drive’s 0.625A to 5.0A range and it is a 2-phase stepper motor.
