I'm fairly new to dealing with servo motion but I have a fairly simple application I was hoping to get some feedback on. I've got a large load I need to lift/lower at very slow speeds using two servo motors attached to each end (see attached diagram). The mechanical gearing on each side identical and each side will have its own linear encoder to measure the height position.
I'm aware I need to sync the two axis's so the load does rack back and forth but I'm not sure of the best way to do it. It looks like I possibly could use a simple MAG and set them up as master/slave with a 1:1 ratio. Or I could set up a virtual master and use an MAG for each servo as slaves.
I'm using RSlogix v19.01, and Kinetix 6500 drives over ethernet. Any thoughts?
