Anyone know of such a controller?
If you don't mind the PC just acting as a HMI, (Human Machine Interface) , and passing of the closed loop control to another system, either in the PC or external, there are several to pick from. Starting with my favorite, Galil Motion, which features electronic gearing/slaving up to 8 axis.
Kanalog is another external system , there are others.
Most of these are comparable to many industrial CNC system and their features.
