Some of these controls have DSP processors that can close the servo loop at a higher rate, like tens of KHz. I'm not convinced this is really that important, but some late-model machines are made to machine at 100 IPM plus and do rapid feeds at 1000++ IPM.
They usually have a complete package system, with power supply, servo amps, motors, CNC control, control panel and PLC for auxiliaries, and can pick and match required components for a particular machine installation.
