Linex Manufacturing overcomes inspection challenges by introducing metal 3D printed custom stylus on Equator™ (docx)

A move to Renishaw’s Equator™ 300 automated gauging system gave Linex Manufacturing all the inspection speed and accuracy it needed. However, on a project implemented before the larger Equator™ 500 was available, bolt holes on the extremities of a workpiece lay just outside the gauge’s working envelope. When standard styli and stylus extensions could not reach, an additively manufactured custom stylus provided the answer.
