MAIN POWER SWITCH Cost effective modular design Uses compact UnoDrives to allow expansion from 1 to 4 axes Individually selectable full-step or half-step operation on each axis Automatic overtemperature protection Solid State Relay (12 AMP) for spindle motor or general purpose AC control

The Mighty Drive is designed for ease of installation & immediate functionality. This rugged, enclosed unit provides a complete Multi-driver system consisting of drive electronics & power supply that are prewired, pretested and ready for immediate use. Featuring on/off switch, solid state relay,controlled AC outlet(s), & a DB25 computer interface connection that interfaces directly with the Optistep motion controller. The new MightyDrive is a compact, modular stepper motor driver subsystem. Available in 1, 2, 3, or 4 axis models, the MightyDrive attaches directly to OptiStep controller via a standard 25 pin D type cable. The current per phase is factory set at 1.2 amps but can be adjusted via a resistor. The built-in 40 volt high effieciency switching power supply delivers 1.2 amps per phase to up to 4 stepper motors.
