Straight Styli
Straight styli are the simplest and most commonly used type of stylus. They are suitable for inspecting simple features with which direct contact can be made. "Single-stepped" or multiple-stepped stems can be chosen depending on the task. All the probes in this category, except for pointed ones (type K), have a ball as a probing element. All standard materials for the components and their properties can be found in our material overview. The stylus pointer (type K) has a hardened stainless tip or a tip made of tungsten carbide with different conicity as probing geometry.

Adaptors / Holders
The adapter plate is the central interface between a coordinate measuring machine, a probe, and the workpiece to be measured. In most cases, these have an integrated electronic identification chip, which enables precise probe identification. The adapter plates serve to accommodate different probe configurations. The main advantage is that the required styli can be changed quickly and precisely.
