Accuracy at the point of contact
As industry has developed its requirement for increasingly diverse and complex manufactured parts, inspection systems have had to work hard to keep up. The use of co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) with probing systems and in-process inspection on machine tools are two of the solutions offered by Renishaw to help you maximise your productivity and maintain the highest quality.
Successful gauging depends very much on the ability of the probe’s stylus to access a feature and then maintain accuracy at the point of contact. At Renishaw, we have used our expertise in probe and stylus design to develop a comprehensive range of CMM and machine tool styli to offer you the greatest possible precision.
These notes explain the critical features of every stylus type, helping you to choose the right design for each inspection need.
