Description
The ITP Straight Styli Type J with a ceramic ball tip is a long-reach, lightweight probing solution designed for precision metrology. Built for CMMs and optical scanners, it delivers exceptional rigidity and a streamlined profile to access tight spaces and challenging surfaces.
- Tip material: Ceramic ball (aluminium oxide) provides durable, wear-resistant contact on abrasive surfaces.
- Stem material: Carbon fiber for high stiffness and low weight, helping maintain accuracy on extended reach.
- Thread: M5 threaded connection for secure attachment to standard stylus heads.
- Overall length: 300 mm, offering extended reach while preserving rigidity and stable measurement paths.
- Design: Straight stylus geometry minimizes deflection and supports consistent data capture.
- Compatibility: Suitable for Type J configurations and common metrology interfaces.
- Customization: Other dimensions can be requested via the configurator or by e-mail to fit specific measurement setups.
- Applications: Optimized for scanning abrasive surfaces that do not contain aluminium, ensuring reliable contact and data integrity.
This stylus helps you achieve higher data reliability in long-reach scans by combining a ultra-light carbon fiber stem with a robust ceramic ball tip. The result is reduced tip deflection, stable measurements across complex geometries, and extended probing capabilities for large components or recessed features. The Type J ceramic ball is particularly well-suited for abrasive non-aluminium surfaces, delivering consistent contact without compromising the surface finish. If your measurement needs require a different length or tip configuration, you can customize through the configurator or reach out by email for tailored options.
