The place I was working at last we had z-mikes and we evaluated the keyence systems. There is a cost diffrence, and some major diffrences between the two. We also used air gages. ±.0002 was the normal tol we delt with, as it is a grind shop. Air and laser are the gages used in that industry. The indicator mics were for floor checks, as was snap gages. A keyence and air gaging you can use on the floor, it is not a good idea to use z-mikes on the floor. Z-mikes are alot cheaper, but are alot less robust.
Either way you are looking at $7,000 to $20,000 for a single unit. Even air will run you that when added up. You need to set up a stream of salesmen to come in and discuss options. As well as gage engineers from the bigger supply sales houses. I even belive Mitutoyo sales laser mikes, get them to send you a engineer for a few hours to sit down and discuss what your dealing with.

, the total rr was 52% AGAIN!! The rep kept saying fixturing is just as important, but I am kinda at a loss for words here. I thought the results would be better.
