Be it point measurements for exceptional accuracy or the scanning of certain materials, it’s important to have the right stylus system for any measuring task. Many factors influence the selection of different components, which is why there’s no standard solution for people looking for the perfect stylus system. Knowing the basics makes it easier to select the right components in a way that’s matched to each measuring task and environment.
The stylus is the “tip” of the stylus system and is the first point of contact to the workpiece. Even the construction of the stylus, which comprises the adapter, shaft and stylus tip, impacts the stylus system and thus the measurement result.
