Application and development trend of stepper motors in CNC systems

Stepper motors are an important part of machine tool CNC systems, and stepper systems are also widely used. At the same time, software control gradually replaces hardware control and becomes the development trend of stepper technology. At present, most domestic CNC system manufacturers still need to import stepper motors, which undoubtedly increases the cost of machine tool CNC systems. The stepping system is responsible for the feedback signal, and its performance directly determines the overall quality of the CNC system.

As an important functional component of the CNC system, the performance of the stepper motor directly affects the performance of the CNC system. Most of the servo motors used by domestic CNC system manufacturers come from well-known foreign companies. If the stepper motor market is deeply developed, the development of domestic CNC systems will go further.

As for the current use of motors in domestic CNC systems, if the functional components industry does not develop on a large scale, the reliability and price of CNC products and the quality of machine tools will not improve. At present, relevant domestic policies have also been introduced, emphasizing market demand as the guide, taking CNC terminal products as the main body, and using complete machines to drive the development of the CNC industry, focusing on solving the reliability and output of CNC system scale stems and related functional components. Therefore, as an important functional component of CNC systems, the development of stepper motors is bound to be further promoted. In terms of technology, the proportion of linear motor drives will increase, so the application of linear motor drives in high-speed, high-precision processing machine tools has entered a period of accelerated growth.

Domestic CNC system manufacturers must comply with policies, lead in technology, and allow the functional components of domestic machine tool CNC systems to develop to a deeper level. At the same time, it will also play a great role in promoting the domestic machine tool manufacturing industry.
