2023-12-27
On December 22, 2023, the 2023 China Motion Control/Direct Drive Technology Industry Development Summit Forum and Awards Ceremony, hosted by China Transmission Network, was held at the Hyatt Hotel in Shenzhen. As a renowned enterprise in the industrial control industry, STEP was invited to attend the conference and join industry peers in discussing topics such as industrial transformation and integrated innovation.
Meanwhile, STEP also won the award in one fell swoop. CMCD 2023 User-Satisfaction Brand in the Motion Control Field Grand prize; its product strength is also widely recognized. SC50 Motion Control Platform Awarded the CMCD 2023 Innovation Product in the Field of Motion Control. Ω6 Series Direct Drive Servo Drives As a result, it was honored as the Most Competitive Innovative Product in the Direct Drive Field at the CDDIA 2023 Awards. In addition, Shan Zhi Kong, a subsidiary of STEP, also received the title of Most Competitive Brand in the Motion Control Field at the CMCD 2023 Awards.
Where honor lies, all eyes turn.
The theme of this conference is “Resilient Growth: Steadfast Progress in 2023”—a concise yet profoundly meaningful slogan. Over the past year, the industrial control industry experienced an economic recovery that fell short of expectations, and downstream demand as a whole remained relatively weak. Despite enduring the test of turbulent market conditions, the industry has also been presented with new opportunities to “harden its internal strengths” and achieve growth against the odds—particularly evident in the area of domestic high-end replacements.
In 2023, STEP motion control business focused on innovation and breakthroughs, injecting strong momentum into its development. On the one hand, the company continued to advance business integration, centering on control-layer products and enhancing their integration capabilities with other products, thereby creating differentiated, comprehensive smart manufacturing solutions for customers. On the other hand, adhering to a strategy of refining and optimizing product offerings, the company further honed the performance of its flagship products, iteratively upgrading products such as the SC-series PAC high-end motion controllers and dispensing control systems. Direct-drive motors, 3C, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, laser welding, printing, packaging New progress has been made in industry applications.
STEP Ω6 Series Servo Products Leveraging Germany’s core drive and control technologies and integrating China’s advanced smart manufacturing concepts, this product delivers powerful control performance, multi-layered protection, unique features, and outstanding industrial design. After four years of rigorous refinement, guided by the strategic vision of benchmarking against and ultimately replacing imported products, its key performance indicators now rival those of internationally renowned brands, fully meeting customers’ demands for high performance and plug-and-play operation.
Award-winning Ω6 Series Direct Drive Servo Drives is a “polygon warrior” who can easily master it. Direct-drive mechanisms such as linear motors, DDRs, voice coil motors, and linear gantry systems. Meanwhile, its performance is exceptional: the current loop refresh rate reaches 1 MHz, and it supports encoder resolutions up to 32-bit. With a high-speed I/O response time of just 1 μs, it can easily handle high-precision burst shooting and probing applications. It can sustain continuous overloads at 115% load and withstand momentary overloads of up to 350% load, making it ideal for direct-drive systems that frequently start, stop, accelerate, and decelerate. Additionally, it also features... One-key self-tuning, online gain adjustment, dual-drive gantry structure, high-precision positioning compensation, fully automatic Hall commutation. and other distinctive features.
The SC50 is the newest member of the STEP SC series—a model built on a domestically produced 4-core 64-bit CPU and a Linux real-time operating system. Next-generation high-performance motion control platform Integrating technologies such as motion control, vision, AI, EtherCAT, and the proprietary STEP LocalBus bus, it achieves highly efficient collaboration among graphics, vision, and control software through internal scheduling via a single CPU.
To help the industry better understand SC50, Zhang Rensu, Product Manager of the STEP Motion Control Division, delivered a keynote speech titled “Integration Is Neither Addition Nor Limited to Technology” at this forum, introducing SC50’s product development philosophy and its value for users.
Zhang Rensu pointed out that the operations and management industry has already shifted from competition centered on individual products to competition based on product portfolios. Integration is one form of product portfolio strategy; simply stacking hardware and layering technologies doesn't necessarily guarantee success. Instead, it requires a deep understanding of specific scenarios and close collaboration across all levels. Only by developing differentiated, competitive solutions can companies stand out in the current trend of intense internal competition.
STEP has accumulated over 20 years of experience in FPGA and ARM development, with deep expertise in low-level driver and algorithm design. This experience is also leveraged in PC-based application software modules; therefore, SC50 provides Diversified, easy-to-use software modules and powerful software technology Assist customers in realizing greater application value and improving development efficiency.
For example, the vision module features embedded development capabilities. In terms of combining graphic parsing with motion control, the CutCAM graphics processing component provides functions such as path planning and tool switching, automatic layout and collision avoidance, 3D stitching and preview, and digital twin simulation. The ADTMotionPro RTCP debugging component, through scene-specific calibration design, achieves higher-precision tip-following. In addition, it integrates components including STEP VDStudio desktop dispensing control, ARStudio SCARA script programming, and Ω Master servo debugging, as well as advanced technologies such as shorter instruction and control cycles, continuous trajectory control, corner-speed and trajectory control, and uniform control of both trajectory and energy.
Zhang Rensu further explained that, based on this platform, developing integrated operational control solutions results in significantly higher delivery efficiency compared to modular solutions, and can simultaneously meet... Visual positioning, detection, complex process machining, multi-axis collaborative control Meeting these indicator requirements will further enhance the equipment’s high-speed, high-precision, and intelligent machining capabilities, truly achieving a high-end, intelligent manufacturing level. This product has already been successfully applied to... Industrial control systems such as laser cutting, vision dispensing, and CNC. Industry.
Winning the Annual Brand and Product Awards this time has earned us authoritative recognition from industry leaders, once again highlighting STEP outstanding achievements in market leadership, brand leadership, and technological innovation, and demonstrating our profound strength as a cornerstone in the motion control industry. Looking ahead, STEP will remain committed to product-centricity and differentiated innovation, genuinely focusing on user needs, continuously upgrading our technologies, and refining our product portfolio. Through an endless stream of new and best-selling products, we will achieve a comprehensive leap in brand power and drive forward. High-end, intelligent, and green manufacturing. Development.
