Mark: Only very "complexly"! You would need an encoder on BOTH
motors/screws, and separate counters on each, then a comparator to insure
they remain syncronized. And if one "gets ahead" (or behind), the circuitry
would "kick it", not necessarily with the knowledge of the main puter. But
what a hassle! Just connect BOTH screws together with sprocket-chain or
timing-belt, and have ONE (larger?) stepper motor! That fixes the whole
problem (assuming you assemble it right!)
