[Emc-users] synchronized axes.

Hi all, I have an application that needs (eventually) 4 axes. Two are X and Y and the other pair need to track (rotationally) with in a few degrees or better. Rotational speeds are from zero to 1800 rpm for one axis and either 1:1 or 2:1 for the other. The speed of rotation and the vectorized
