this is an opinion coming from a different line of work, its really opinion-y and i don't do it as a job just dabble with it around the plant....when I look at projects like you guys machines, (I could well be wrong) the automagic gets performed and dictated by plc people, who then try to beat motion control systems into submission and mangle them into the "plc" being the head of the process and become a second class citizen, I imagine your using some sort of all-in-one motion controller/amp/servo solution that you talk to (half-ass-edly) over some bus? you look at machines these days, and they have a lot more in common with something like a multi-tasking lathe than a concrete batching plant (the sorts of project these guys cut their teeth on) - so surely using a general purpose "motion controller" as the head of process, using general purpose drives and motors where you can mix and match and change brands when you have a supply issue (like you would when you have a vsd fault - you can ring a multitude of people and suppliers right?), that has a logic interpreter "as-well", would be far easier, has all the awesome "pre-made" motion synchronisation, diagnostics, self-fault-checking, simulation, block stepping, jogging, pre-made hardware interfaces, super easy motion programming (which is always the hard bit compared to logic right?). program logic "interpreted" text language that everybody involved can "read" and contribute their 2cents to...(The general opinion I have heard is interpreted language is too slow...which isn't correct for "our world"....I think its more "I want to keep people thinking I'm doing something they cant do".) A factory worker can program, maintain, optimise & fault-find a modern multi-tasking lathe run by a general purpose motion controller. And they are "cheap". It is a mindset shift, and you don't get to just ask the normal suspects to do it, so you get in a feedback loop that maintains your heading. We should go visit "delta-tau", (unrelated to "delta"). Interestingly I see they are now an Omron company. Wooah wall of text Time to do some actual work... (Which is building a fence around a machine..thats process is controlled by...a motion controller! horay!)

probably siemens, kollmorgen, or delta but I only deal with/take an interest in analog control velocity mode stuff, which is probably not relevant to what you do if you read that list forwards, it would be what ive seen most to leastmost "out-and-about". If you read it backwards, it would be what ive seen "trending" in the last few years, ive never dealt with delta but apparently the nz agent is really good/carrys stuff bums on seats by faar the most common is fanuc but its cnc only really - massive fanboy tbh.

Swing by if your still wanting to measure it - unsure how you would go at honing a chrome bore? But your welcome to use my lathe etc
