White paper: Wear comparison testing between Renishaw OPTiMUM™ diamond styli and the standard ruby equivalent (pdf)

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.
