dc.description.abstractSLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) performs experiments on nanocrystallography by exposing X-ray beams to fluids with nanocrystals. The fluid is delivered using glass capillaries which need to be ground and polished in-house in order to meet the requirements needed for the experiments. Currently, the process is labor intensive, specialized (being limited to 3-5 people equipped to perform the process), and slow. As a result, SLAC is seeking an improved and automated method for the preparation of these tubes which will reduce preparation time. Specifically to develop a robot/mechatronic system to be used in the capillary grinding process to interface with a Ted Pella XP-8 grinder and the SLAC designed capillary mount.
