If you're not sure where to start, I would first suggest that you
contact us by phone, so that you can speak with one of our sales representatives, and they would be more than happy to assist you in finding the equipment that you need for your application.
In the meantime, it looks like you need to control 4 axes, so you will need a Motion Controller, one or more drives to power your motors, and than the stepper motors themselves. The
NI Motion Hardware website is a great place to view all of our motion products and compare their features, so that you can determine which piece of hardware will be suit your needs/budget.
Also, I would suggest taking a look at the Motion
Advisor page if you will be using any 3rd party hardware (i.e. motors,
drives, stages) which can be found at the following link Advisors for Motion. These two sites have a lot of helpful information to get you started.
