Motion Sizing Calculator

Size a motion axis in one pass: move profile → forces and power → motor margin → encoder quantization → bandwidth and resonance target. First version supports a symmetric trapezoidal velocity profile. The methodology is documented in the Motion System Sizing Framework project.

Inputs
