Hello again, eMastercammers I haven't been around much over the last decade or so, and feel a little bad about returning with my hand out, but not bad enough to stop me I am looking for any feedback from users of the Renishaw Equator measuring system. We're looking to add automated measuring and feedback of measurement data to one of our turning centers, and the Renishaw Equator seems to have all of the functionality / features that we want, at a very reasonable price range. That being said, i am concerned because of: 1) the rather erector set-like appearance of the thing 2) the fact that they master on an actual workpiece, not a calibration artifact, and compare all measured parts to this "master part" 3) that the +.0000/-.0005 ID and OD tolerances involved are tighter than we've typically been able to accurately measure with CMMs and similar machines Currently, the machine will run for hours without requiring any offsets (Okumas rock), so the last thing we want to do is eff up the process by feeding back erroneous measurement data, but we're looking to begin some lights-out operations, and i can't have the machine making bad parts for [12] hours before somebody figures it out. Any Equator experience, impressions, scuttlebutt would be appreciated. Thanks C
