inverter and servo synchronization

[Andrea Ascani]

Good morning guys, 

in your experience what is the best way to syncrhonize a motor controlled in speed with an inverter and a motor controlled in position with a servo drive?

Let me explaine better what is my situation:

I have a belt running normally at a certain constant speed. in some moments, I would like to syncrhonize the speed according to an axis controlled from a servo. the command of a servo specific position target and of course speed and acceleration e deceleration rate. I would like to adjust the belt speed in way to follow as accurately as possible the servo movement.

Thanks a lot

Andrea

Best bet is an encoder on the belt, and then you can use gearing or camming to sync the two.
