Brief product description
The "Triple BEAST" is a complete stepper motor controller for three axes. All components for the control of a small milling,
engraving or turning machine are integrated in a housing with dimensions of only 100x102x55mm. Only a power supply unit for
the power supply is still required. The effort for mounting, wiring and the possibilities for errors are thus reduced to a minimum.
The Triple BEAST offers all the advantages of the individual BEAST power amplifier at extremely low cost, such as very quiet
motor running with continuous sinusoidal commutation and complete short-circuit and overload protection. Only the maximum
current and the maximum operating voltage are limited to 5A and 55V compared to the "big brother". For applications with 4
axes, or if a more powerful motor is required, a connection option for an additional output stage is available.
The network version of the Triple BEAST is designed for operation with the Beamicon2 CNC control software. A normal
network connection with RJ45 cable is used for data transfer from the PC. No LPT port is required, and the well-known
limitations of step frequency and timing problems are a thing of the past.
