What is stepper systems?

Stepper systems, primarily using stepper motors, are electromechanical devices that convert electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements. The shaft of a stepper motor rotates in precise angular increments when electrical command pulses are applied to it in the correct sequence. Stepper motors are used in various applications requiring precise positioning, speed control, and repeatability, such as 3D printers, CNC machines, robotics, and camera positioning systems. A 'stepper system' typically includes the stepper motor itself, a driver circuit to control the motor's movement, and a controller to generate the command pulses.
