Runout and Total runout possible?

Been looking at new machines as you well know and I wonder If any of the visual machines can check runout and Total runout.Some of the companies we have spoken to say they can.But from my understanding to actually check it you actually need to spin the part.We have one drawing that asks for Total runout within .00005 I don't think its possible,but I figured I would ask anyway.
On a seperate note I think I'll try and get a demo of a Mitutoyo vision unit in here.Is there anyone in the MA area I should go through?

  • You are in luck you can get a demo in MA because that is where the NE dealer is. Get a hold of Mitutoyo (I don't have that contact any more) they will get you with the guy.

    Knowing what you are looking for you should seriously consider OGP. I slam them for their lousy front end but my gripes about it are exactly what you are looking for. It is a non-programmer's software, it is a walk up to it and start using it type of thing which I hate but has merrits such as times like this. Mitutoyo is very powerful high end stuff for programmers, it is not a walk up to it and go thing.

    The advise I gave in previous posts was based on my desires from a vision system, you have different needs so be sure to check all your options. 0.00005 runout I'd be concerned aout doing with anything that is not designed specifically for runout checking.
