Which control should I use for this linear slide?

[Enzo]

Hi I have these linear tables, and was wondering the best way to use firstly, a one axis, and secondly a two axis system. The motors are nema 17, 23 oz.in 400 step/rev. The specs off the Danaher webs ite says:

The TM Series is one of our most widely used lines of sin-
gle-axis positioning tables. Its center-driven leadscrew
design provides highly repeatable motion in a compact unit.
It incorporates cost-effective ball ways, and is built using a
monolithic, two piece design which precisely locates the crit-
ical duplex and radial bearing journals within the massive
base section. They come complete and ready to operate,
including a motor with knob, Hall-effect limit switches, and
locking connectors.

The ones I have also have encoders as well as limit switches.
I guess what I'm asking is what would make the most sense to get these working, and where can I buy the parts?
Thanks for you help

Get some Gecko drives and your set.

Well Geckos are at the high end of the hobbyist market....if you want to experiment with something cheaper....search for HobyCNC...Xotoplex (sp?)...etc.

Thanks guys,I'll look into both

lol Viper, xotoplex... xylotex.

Xylotex is a pretty decent controller for a fraction of the price of Geckos. Lower voltage means slower speeds, but I guess it doesn't matter when the OP is running 23 oz-in motors.
