noob here, as you will probably see
I am attemping to design a 42 x 42 x 12 gantry style router
the rail system for both long axis will be mounted on the top of the machine
Is it possible to have dual lead screws on a single axis with independent stepper motors
If so what would I use or how would I maintain synchronization between the motors?
I am trying to stay away from is a complex pulley & belt system
Also will a control like Mach3 be capable of running a system like this?
I have attached a basic mock-up of the frame & rail system
any help or possible resources would be greatly appreciated
Motors I plan on using will be bipolar Nema 34 or 42
