Optimal measurement solution
In many application challenges, the solution lies in the choice of stylus. Access to workpiece features, inspection times and probe performance are all influenced by the choice of stylus.
All of these aspects are considered within the design of a custom stylus, incorporating the ideal choice of materials and construction to optimise probe performance for your particular application.
Renishaw has supplied over 10,000 different custom styli into probing applications worldwide, so the solution to your custom stylus requirements may already exist.
Our expertise allows us to develop a product that satisfies the customer demand for accuracy, part feature inspection, delivery and cost. All of these aspects are considered within the design of a custom stylus, ensuring that the solution incorporates the ideal choice of ball and stem materials and optimises probe performance for your particular application.
Additively manufactured styli
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) is a flexible and powerful technology that can be used to create components and parts which cannot be made using traditional manufacturing methods.
These can include complex shapes with internal structures and latticework that are both light and strong, enabling repeatable metrology. The high degree of flexibility in design means additively manufactured styli can be created and customised for almost any application.
All AM styli are designed and produced in house by Renishaw, ensuring short lead times and high standards of quality.

All OPTiMUM diamond styli are designed and produced in house, ensuring short lead-times and high standards of quality.
