The New Art in Stepping Motor Drive and Control


    Testra Corporation specializes in precision drive and control of rotary and linear Stepper Motor Systems in an Automation environment, providing coordinated multi-axes systems for use by OEM's, system integrators, and the one of a kind machine builder.  We have both standard and custom solutions, utilizing our ultra smooth SyncroStep * micro-stepping technology, and many companion products for machine automation & control that run over a RS-485 network.
    We have also applied the technology to individual motor drive modules resulting in the SoftStep driver product line.  These drivers give you the benefit of smooth micro-stepping even though you are controlling them with much coarser step commands.


    Tired of Noisy step motors?   Step motors are noisy because of the way they are driven.  Our new SoftStep driver product line utilizing our new advanced technology includes models such as the ss483S that always operate at 256 microsteps per motor step irrespective of the selected input step rate.  The motors speak for themselves without clicks, buzzing or whining!
