This straight stylus is designed for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) to inspect simple features where direct, unobstructed contact with a measured surface is possible. It features a 2 mm ruby ball tip, known for its hardness, smooth surface, and resistance to mechanical corrosion, making it suitable for most applications. The 1.5 mm diameter stem is crafted from tungsten carbide, providing exceptional rigidity and stiffness for lengths up to 50 mm. The stylus has an overall length of 40 mm and an M2 thread.
- Inspects simple features with direct contact.
- Ruby tip offers high hardness and compressive strength.
- Tungsten carbide stem ensures exceptional rigidity and stiffness.
- Ideal for most general-purpose CMM inspection applications.
- Not recommended for scanning aluminum surfaces due to potential adhesive wear.
