Stepper Motors and Peristaltic Pumps

Paul Jepson of Oriental Motor UK returns as a special guest to talk automation. The myriad of motors available is clarified as he talks Nicole and Caroline through the landscape of automation today. Together they delve into details on why AC induction motors or BLDC motors just won’t meet present and future intelligent automation needs.


There is an exploration of the popularity of motorised linear stages and X/Y table and a drill down into stepper motors and peristaltic pumps (roller pumps) for industrial fluid control.


With pharmaceuticals one everyone’s mind at the moment, Paul also focuses on how these motors are effective in drug research where the precision of a five-phase stepper motor can control fluids worth £10,000 per gram, at rates of 10nl per minute.

Nicole and Caroline also quiz Paul on how sophisticated motors and software account are used to set parameters. The trio touch on how they are used to configure systems for an Industry 4.0 communications network and the intelligent Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
