Dear guys (and possibly girls, why not)

I have a question which may sound quite newbie, but I can assure I'm
not newbie at all (just newbie in this matter :)

I am currently building a laser cutter machine and for that I will
need to be able to output pulses between 25kHz and 50kHz  (50kHz would
be the max but would be nice to be achievable)

Now I tried this with EMC on a very high end machine I have here (A
Dual Xeon quadcore machine on a serverboard) and emc is aproximately
capable of doing it.


Little detail: Thats a $4000 machine and a little expensive for
controlling a machine :) Its nice for tests but too expensive to put
in the same place as the laser.





So... is there any way that I could put some kind of card into my pc
(a regular $400 household machine) which could take care of these
timings, so that I could nicely to 50kHz, but with a lot cheaper PC ?


I have heard about these MESA cards, but I don't know at all what they
do and I also don't know if they have to be programmed for
something???



So any information / hints / links would be very helpfull.


If I understand well, then the biggest problem for a pc is to maintain
a steady rate, so maybe there is a solution for that ?


Kind regards,
And many thanks in advance,


Bart
