Gram gauge and tools
Enables the adjustment, reset and checking of probe trigger force settings on all standard Renishaw CMM touch-trigger probes- Setting the optimum trigger force using the gram gauge maximises a probe's performance
- Can be used to set trigger force settings over a range from 4 grams to 35 grams
- Scale graduations are set at 1 gram intervals which is sufficient for all probe force measurements on CMMs
- Due to the use of SI units, the trigger force for probes is given in newtons - 1 gf = 0.01 N

Leaflet: Trigger force gauge guide
Trigger force is the amount of pressure applied by the helical compression spring onto the pivotal plate and bearing points to hold the stylus mount in place.
