Numerical control machine tools are the core equipment of modern manufacturing industry, and their machining accuracy and efficiency directly affect the quality of products and the competitiveness of enterprises. As a key actuator in CNC machine tools, stepper motors have the advantages of fast response speed, high positioning accuracy, and simple control, and are widely used in the drive system of CNC machine tools. However, in practical applications, stepper motors have problems such as unstable step accuracy and easy step loss during low-speed operation, which affect the performance of CNC machine tools. Therefore, studying the application and control strategies of stepper motors in CNC machine tools is of great significance.

Position feedback system
Stepper motors can also be used in position feedback systems in CNC machine tools, achieving closed-loop control of each axis of the machine tool by detecting the actual position of the stepper motor. The position feedback system has the following characteristics:
(1) Improve machining accuracy: Through closed-loop control, the position of each axis of the machine tool can be adjusted in real time to improve machining accuracy.
