Hi,
I’m new to motion control so please excuse any bluntness.
I am trying to set up a system which can perform linear and rotational motion, controlled independently. I have a dual axis actuator already in mind, http://www.haydonkerk.com/LinearActuatorProducts/StepperMotorLinearActuators/DualMotionLinearActuators/tabid/67/Default.aspx
I want to control the system using labview. The actuator supplier has advised me to purchase two drives to drive the actuator in both axes.
http://www.haydonkerk.com/LinearActuatorProducts/Drives/DCS4020SeriesChopperDrive/tabid/120/Default.aspx
So my question has two parts;
Is there a NI controller that will allow me to interface those two haydon kerk drivers with labview?
Or alternatively, are there any NI drivers I can instead pair with the actuator and a NI controller?
The haydon kerk webpage says that any "standard two axis stepper motor driver" will be able to drive the dual axis actuator.
Any help here would be much appreciated.
