Star Probes Feature Removable Styli
The company’s ultra-light CMM star probes are designed with removable styli. Sometimes tactile CMMs use star probes that often have five ruby ball styli to access virtually all exposed sides of a workpiece being measured. In traditional star probes, if just one ruby ball stylus is damaged, the entire star probe must be replaced, the company says.

For use on the shop floor, the Linear 100 is a high-precision, universal-length measuring instrument for rapid, high-accuracy internal and external measurements. With a direct measuring range of 2" (50 mm) and an application range of 4" (100 mm), the simple design makes it possible for the instrument to measure quickly and to adapt to new measurement tasks, the company says. For example, the instrument can be used to measure both lengths and diameters tasks such as measuring the dimension over two balls on gear ODs.

The company’s Niton XL3t series material analyzers with geometrically optimized large area drift detector (GOLDD) technology are said to deliver improvements in light element detection, overall sensitivity and measurement times. This instrument offers light element detection of magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur without helium or vacuum purging. For the machining industry, the capability to verify sulfur content in free machining steels, such as SS 303, can help eliminate damage to tooling caused by incorrect materials, the company says.
