What about thinking more 'old school', like how manually operated tools on
turret lathes were developed to be automated? Your grinding process has a few
repetitive steps.
Unload part from carousel.Load into clamp.Grind.Turn part over.Grind.Unload
part from clamp.Reload into carousel.
If this is going to be used to produce thousands of parts, it may be more cost
effective and/or reliable to build a device dedicated to the purpose. I'm
thinking of something like the record loader and unloader used on old Wurlitzer
jukeboxes. They unloaded and reloaded the records from and to a magazine, some
linear, some rotary, and could flip them to place either side up.
