Here at Renishaw, we pride ourselves on knowing everything there is to know about styli. They have been a key part of our measuring systems since 1973, when Renishaw introduced the very first touch-trigger probe. Designed by our team of experts over many years, our extensive range of styli covers standard options and custom solutions.
In many application challenges, the solution lies in the choice of stylus. Access to workpiece features, inspection times and probe performance are all influenced by the choice of stylus. Every aspect is carefully considered during the design of a custom stylus. We incorporate the ideal choice of ball and stem materials while optimising probe performance for your specific application.
