Buy me a Beer?

Unfortunately you may have gone the wrong route in your selection process.
Generally the first thing is deciding on the mechanics of the machine, or purchase the basic machine, then the motors can be sized according to the demands placed on them by the mechanical structure and the performance required of them.
Once the motors are selected, then the appropriate rated drives and power supply can be selected.
The components you now have should work, although the PS voltage is probabally lower than will allow maximum speed, and current can usually be easily set for limit/fold back to avoid damage to the motor or supply.
IOW you may not get the maximum performance they are capable off.
Fortunately, DC brushed motors are usually easiest to mix and match as far as drives are concerned.
The drives I use mainly are A-M-C or Copley, AMC does not supply motors so it is always mix and match with their product.
I usually prefer to initially tune the drives themselves, independant of the controller, this either requires a ±10v analogue battery box or a step/dir generator.
Good luck with the machine.
