Stylus Holder Measures Internal Grooves

Q-Mark, recognized as the premiere U.S. source for ruby and diamond probe styli, is introducing seven new products to meet the wide array of challenges they receive from their manufacturing clientele. Q-Mark will exhibit in booth 135501 at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in September, 2018.

One of the products is the ultralight M2 right angle stylus holder, used to measure internal grooves and perpendicular bores. Before this ultralight holder, CMM users were forced to use star hubs or knuckle joints with threaded styli to achieve right angle probing. Multiple parts were required, adding weight and limiting clearance. In contrast, the new ultralight holder weighs just 2.40 grams and allows the use of any unthreaded stylus. Because no additional parts are needed, it's more rigid, and far less expensive than conventional setups. It reaches into tight spaces with ease, simplifying part set-up and programming.
