Motion Controller?? Sorry, Try Again

The term "motion controller" was used by the
professors of EE here as the university, that's what
they called the circuit board that converts the
program to pulses that would go to the Geckos.
They don't talk CNC they use the motion control system
in robots.
So let me restate what I don't understand. I need
recommendations on what components are needed to
convert Mach2's output to pulses that will go to my
Geckos.
This is for a Bridgeport mill. I need 4-axis now and
will need a total of 6-axis soon. High feed rates are
not needed, but power is.
I currently am running my parts on the university's
VF4 HAAS mill center. The max feed rate varies between
8 to 12 inches a minute. I occasionally run a 8 insert
mill using PCB inserts cutting 60RC material.
