This white paper explains why regular stylus ball inspection and cleaning are essential for accurate CMM and Equator™ measurement results, with guidance on identifying dirt, pick-up and wear, choosing suitable cleaning equipment, and applying safe cleaning methods for different stylus and datum ball sizes.
OPTiMUM™ diamond styli range for extreme measurement applications. OPTiMUM diamond styli offer long-lasting scanning performance in demanding applications. The range has been specifically developed for use within metrology applications that require a hard-wearing stylus. The principal advantage of its chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond-coated spheres is that they will maintain their roundness and will not suffer from material ‘pick up’ or premature wear when
scanning abrasive materials or soft aluminium alloys.
