The new T-Cube USB apt^TM Stepper Driver (TST001) is a very compact, single channel controller for easy manual and automated control of small, 2-phase, bi-polar stepper motors. This driver has been designed to operate with a variety of lower powered motors (up to 15V/5W operation) equipped with or without encoder feedback. Although targeted at lower power operations, this product offers full control features with a highly flexible and powerful DSP controller that provides a unique high resolution microstepping capability in a compact unit. The TST001 is optimized for 'out of the box' operation with the Thorlabs range of ZST mini stepper motor actuators; however, its highly flexible parameterization also supports operation with a wide range of third party stepper motors and associated stages and actuators.

For convenience, the footprint of this unit has been kept to a minimum, 60 x 60 x 47mm (2.37" x 2.37" x 1.87"). Like the other models of the T-cube family, this unit maybe mounted directly to the optical table--closer to the motorized system thus minimizing drive cable lengths, while making it convenient to manually adjusting motor positions using the top panel controls.

USB connectivity provides easy 'Plug and Play' PC controlled operation.  Multiple units can be connected to a single PC via standard USB technology or by using the new T-Cube Controller Hub (TCH001) for multi-axis motion control applications.
