iseBOX – Compact stepper motor controller

• Compatible with all common fieldbus systems

• Programmable by you or our experts in C/C++ or with the CodeSys PLC software

• Contains only the components your application actually needs

iseBOX is like a control cabinet in a shoebox: compact yet powerful. It works with all common fieldbus systems and can be programmed in C/C++ or with the CodeSys PLC software, either by you or with help from our experts. It contains only the components you actually need.

Our innovative stepper motor controllers also deliver maximum efficiency in your process through intelligent motor control and optimised motion sequences. Whether you need high dynamics, precise positioning or energy-efficient operation, our solutions consistently deliver the best results. With iseBOX's fully integrated control system, complicated wiring requirements and rigid configuration rules are a thing of the past.

Get the most out of your machine!

Depending on the configuration, our iseCONTROL platform can control up to 16 interpolated axes. We tailor the number and configuration of the motor power stages to your machine. Alongside iseSTEP with up to 4 amperes, other drivers with up to 8 amperes at 60 volts are possible. iseMOTION is our motion control method using FIR filtering and is integrated from generation 6 onwards.

The compact units can also connect to all common fieldbus systems and offer numerous inputs and outputs, various interfaces and a user-friendly touchscreen interface. This creates a space-saving solution that optimally supports your stepper motor control.

 

 

Our iseCONTROL in practice

Whether as an EG2-Box or an EK2-Box: our control platform has provided reliable operation in marking systems for years. Borries embossing machines illustrate how iseCONTROL proves itself in practice.

iseSTEP – Flexible stepper motor power stage

The iseSTEP power stage incorporates our knowledge from decades of practical experience. Alongside its top-level technical performance, you benefit from its flexibility. The form factor and technical specifications can be customised, eliminating high minimum order quantities and long waiting times.

Special algorithms drive the motors with optimal current, while load information automatically adjusts the voltage without additional sensors. Intelligent current reduction also keeps the motor and electronics cool, with up to 4 amperes of motor current available when demand is higher. This adaptability lets you tailor your stepper motor control precisely to your application's requirements.

The iseSTEP power stage is ideal for applications requiring high flexibility as well as power. Its robust design also operates reliably in demanding environments. With this solution, you can adapt your systems optimally to current and future requirements, saving costs over the long term.

Our iseSTEP power stages are also used in our industrial 3D printer isePRINT S.
