Dave, I do not think I have that option, at least not without changing amplifiers. The only interface to the existing amplifiers is a -10 to 10V signal. This configuration with stepper motors is pretty much falling off a log easy. I have a 4' x 8' stepper table configured exactly that way.

Dave, Thanks for the reply. So you have position feedback from the motor shafts, essentially a servo system with stepper motors, kinda? And if the detected position differs from commanded position by a specified amount, it stops? Did the motors come with the feedback hardware or did you add
