SnapAmp 1000
For driving high power motors, the SnapAmp 1000 "snaps" on top
of the Motion Control Board adding two 1000W power amplifier to the 4
existing 165W power amplifiers.

Depending on motor types, the SnapAmp 1000 is capable of
driving 2 to 4 axes. The SnapAmp contains two independent sides (side A
and side B).
Each side (A, B) has 4 half bridge amplifiers capable of driving
either:
1 stepper motor
1 brushless motor
2 brush motors
Each side (A, B) offers:
Independent power supply input
Programmable voltage clamp
Programmable current limit
Digital temperature measurement
Capability of sourcing 1000W continuous
