    Stepper and Servo on same system?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if this is possible with the correct controllers,and CNC software. The reason is, I have 2 servo linear actuators, and 2 stepper linear actuators already built. It would be nice if there was a way I could mix them on one system. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    It depends on what software's controlling them. If they both take step and direction, then it shouldn't be a problem at all.
