The steppers will always hum when the drivers are active. So a brake on the axis and disabling the stepper drivers is mandatory.

Thanks for replying.
I'm using a linear encoder Link.
These encoders working conjunction with this controller Link.
This is a digital encoder. It can be controlled via either RS232 or RS485. The end goal is to connect six of these to the RS485 bus.
The master of these motors will be a piece of custom software on a PC. The software will be written in c++, and in the end offer high level controls to control the robot. This software will be made into a library, and then ported to matlab so the thing can be controlled from matlab code.
This thing wont have a stage. Like I said, these motors will surely be powerful enough. Another engineer made a design and did the calculations. The motors must be able to reach a step angle of at least 0.5 degrees, which I can manage through the use of gearing.
