I (Pico Systems) have an interface to copy the encoder signals to both the stepper controller and Gecko 320 drives. Assuming your drives are not from Gecko, this board may still work with them. You will probably need 2 stepper controller boards to have enough inputs for two MPGs. Do you have a spindle encoder for rigid tapping? Does the machine have a VFD to control spindle speed?
