  For carrying out bead-pull characterisation of RFQ and DTL at the Low Energy High Intensity Proton Accelerator of BARC, a controller for simultaneous motion of 64 axis, tuners or post couplers, was developed. Also, a bead motion controller with integrated phase measurement sensor was developed. The paper discusses the requirements of the system, the architecture of the control systems, operation and results. The results obtained from the sensor was compared to that obtained using an independent USB VNA. The advantages of the system especially with addition of internal phase measurement sensor including minimising position error, flexibility in beadpull to selectively increase resolution at specified locations and ease of implementing auto-tuning algorithms are discussed.
