Straight styli are designed to inspect simple features where direct, unobstructed contact with a measured surface is possible. A carbon fibre stem is very lightweight and ideal for applications where weight is critical. Ruby is regarded as the industry standard for stylus tips. It is one of the hardest materials available and suitable for most applications. Due to adhesive pickup, ruby tips are not recommended for scanning aluminium parts.
Recommended for use with MP700.
This MP700 specific stylus has an additional internal design feature that in case of severe overtravel crash, allows for a controlled reseating of the probe kinematics avoiding strain gauge damage.
