INSIZE M2
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about INSIZE M2 from 3G Electric.
What thread size do INSIZE M2 styli use?
INSIZE M2 styli use an M2 stem thread size, which is a standard metric thread (2 mm diameter) commonly used in CMM touch probes. This thread size ensures compatibility with a wide range of probe heads and extensions from various manufacturers, including Renishaw and Zeiss. The M2 thread is designed for secure attachment and repeatable positioning during measurement cycles.
What materials are INSIZE M2 styli tips made from?
INSIZE M2 styli tips are made from synthetic ruby, a material chosen for its high hardness (9 on the Mohs scale) and low coefficient of friction. Ruby tips provide wear resistance and dimensional stability, making them suitable for repeated contact with workpiece surfaces. The ruby ball is bonded to a stainless steel stem, which offers corrosion resistance and structural integrity.
Are INSIZE M2 multi-way bases compatible with other brands?
INSIZE M2 multi-way bases, such as the ISQ-03-2070-008ST, are designed to be similar to Renishaw A-5000-3627 and Zeiss 602030-8381-000 bases. They feature M2 thread interfaces and standard mounting dimensions, allowing interchangeability with many CMM probe systems. However, users should verify compatibility with their specific probe head and stylus configurations before use.
What is the ball diameter range for INSIZE M2 straight styli?
INSIZE M2 straight styli are available with ruby ball diameters ranging from 0.039 in (1 mm) to 0.157 in (4 mm). This range covers common sizes used for measuring small features, such as holes and slots, as well as larger surfaces. The specific diameters include 0.039 in, 0.079 in, 0.098 in, 0.118 in, and 0.157 in, each with corresponding stem lengths.
How do I select the correct INSIZE M2 stylus for my CMM?
Select an INSIZE M2 stylus based on the ball diameter and stem length required for your measurement task. The ball diameter should be smaller than the feature being measured to avoid interference, while the stem length must provide adequate reach. Ensure the M2 thread matches your probe head. Refer to the manufacturer part number (e.g., ISQ-01-2040-040STR) for exact specifications.
