Thanks to all for some clarifications that encouraged me to take some ginger first steps towards this (read, bought a servo motor on ebay).
Guys, do you think that this servo motor will "do" to motorize the knee of my Bridgeport Interact: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390233108125 This is an "Italiano servomotori", with a 15:1 gearbox and a tach. I think that it can give me about 7 ft-lbs of torque on its chain drive at 200 RPM. That should be enough to move the knee with air assist. With 1:1 transmission, it would amount to 40 IPM, probably a bit less in real life. The knee is air assisted and if I get even 30-40 IPM rapids on the knee, I will be happy. i ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
