INSIZE M2

The primary difference is the ruby ball tip diameter, which affects the stylus's ability to access features and the contact area during probing. Smaller ball diameters, such as 0.039 in (SKU 822JY8) or 0.079 in (SKU 822JZ4), are suited for measuring small holes, narrow slots, and fine details. Larger diameters, such as 0.118 in (SKU 822K10) or 0.12 in (SKU 822KA4), provide a larger contact area and may be used for general surface probing or where a smaller ball could deflect. All share the M2 stem thread for compatibility with M2 probe heads. Selection depends on the feature size and the required probing force.

The INSIZE M2 styli feature an M2 stem thread, which is a standard interface used by many CMM probe systems, including those from Renishaw and Zeiss. The multi-way base SKU 822K22 is identified as a type equivalent to Renishaw A-5000-3627 and Zeiss 602030-8381-000, indicating dimensional and thread compatibility. However, compatibility should be verified against the specific probe head model and manufacturer specifications. 3G Electric supplies these as INSIZE-branded products; they are not manufactured by Renishaw or Zeiss. Users should confirm that the M2 thread and stylus length meet the requirements of their probe system.

The INSIZE M2 multi-way stylus base, such as SKU 822K22, is made of stainless steel. This material provides corrosion resistance and structural rigidity for mounting styli on CMM probes. The base has an M2 thread and dimensions of 0.315 in x 0.276 in. Stainless steel is commonly used in metrology accessories to maintain dimensional stability and withstand repeated use in inspection environments. The base is designed to hold M2 styli securely during probing operations.

Stylus length affects reach and rigidity. Longer styli can access deeper features but may be more prone to deflection during probing, which can affect measurement accuracy. Shorter styli are stiffer and better for high-accuracy measurements on accessible surfaces. The INSIZE M2 line includes various lengths, though the supplied data does not list specific length dimensions for all SKUs. When selecting, consider the depth of the feature to be measured, the clearance around the part, and the probing force of the CMM. It is advisable to use the shortest stylus that can reach the feature to minimize deflection. Consult the CMM manufacturer's guidelines for stylus length limits.

INSIZE M2 CMM styli are used in dimensional inspection and quality control across industries such as machining, automotive, aerospace, and electronics. They are suitable for verifying part geometries, including hole positions, diameters, slot widths, surface profiles, and contour dimensions. In machining, they help inspect first-article parts and production samples. In assembly, they can check fit and alignment of components. The ruby ball tips are wear-resistant, making them suitable for repeated contact with metallic and non-metallic workpieces. The multi-way bases allow configuring multiple styli for complex measurements or adapting to different probe heads.

3G Electric supplies the INSIZE M2 line and can assist with product selection based on the specifications provided in the catalog. Technical buyers can reference the SKU details, including ball diameter, stem thread size, and base dimensions, to match their requirements. For application-specific questions, such as compatibility with a particular CMM model or probing strategy, users should consult the CMM manufacturer or a metrology specialist. 3G Electric's role is as a distributor; it does not manufacture the styli or provide calibration services. The company offers logistics support for global delivery of the listed SKUs.
