The ITP Straight Stylus Type J with a ruby ball is a precision probing accessory designed for engineers and metrology professionals who demand reliable, long-reach performance in CMM measurements.

  • Material: Carbon fiber stem delivers high rigidity with low weight, ideal for extended-length styli.
  • Ball: High-quality ruby ball (precise and wear-resistant) available in a range from Ø6.0 mm to Ø12.0 mm.
  • Connection: M3 thread compatible with standard probing interfaces for quick, secure mounting.
  • Length: 78 mm overall length provides extended reach without sacrificing stiffness or stability.
  • Customization: Other dimensions can be requested via the configurator or by e-mail to suit specific applications.

This straight stylus excels in long-reach probing scenarios where minimal deflection and fast, repeatable contacts are essential. The carbon fiber construction keeps inertia low for smooth, precise contact with small features, while the ruby ball offers a hard, durable surface that withstands repeated cycles with consistent results. The Type J design keeps the probing geometry simple and reliable, making it a versatile choice for automotive, aerospace, and general industrial metrology tasks. If you need a different ruby-ball diameter or other precise specifications, this stylus can be configured to meet your measurement requirements through the available configurator or by direct inquiry.
