RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] slaving axis's

sorry for the confusion, Im asking about both steppers AND servos at this
point. Software would probably be EMC. Im looking for a hardware solution
at this point...---Dave L.

I am a little confused how you are set up?? You mention ±10v which would
indicate you are using traditional servos, but you also mention
step/direction. If you are using step and direction type drives (like Gecko
G320/340 or steppers) you can do axis slaving in the software with Mach1.

hello all in CNC land, wondering how i might be able to slave axis together
on a machine. specifically on a gantry style with motors on both sides.
Can the ±10v (for servo) be spliced together before the servo amps, and the
step-direction wires be spliced, or is the amperage not enough?? how do
they do it in the industry? encoder off the first axis driving the
second?--Dave L.
