Keeping two motors in sync

[amesmich]

Excuse any ignorance I may have since I am reaching out on behalf of our programing team. We have two lead screws that we are trying to keep in sync with each other. We are using these encoders which are mechanically attached to the screws. http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2899.htm

Does anyoen have any ideas or input as to how they would incorporate a PID loop that would take the encoder values and slow the faster screw down so that both are in sync?

I know it may seem simple to some btu our team is strugling to find an exampl as to how to implement this type of design. ANy info or direction is appreciated. Thanks.
