Today I'm starting a project to automate my surface grinder. I've only used it a few times, and I'm already tired of cranking. Today we'll measure and calculate torque, inertia, and other factors, we'll select ClearPath servo motors and drive components, and we'll scan the machine and create a CAD model to make sure everything fits.
