Product Description
Renishaw TS27R Tungsten Carbide Parallel Shafted Tool Datum Disk (L 23 mm)
Disc styli
These styli are ‘sections’ of highly spherical balls and are available in various diameters and thicknesses. Mounted on a threaded spigot, the discs are made from steel, ceramic or ruby. Full rotational adjustment and the ability to add a center stylus are features of the range. This makes them particularly flexible and easy to use.
Main application: These styli are used to probe undercuts and grooves within bores, which may be inaccessible to star styli. Probing with the ‘spherical edge’ of a simple disc is effectively the same as probing on or about the equator of a large stylus ball. However, only a small area of this ball surface is available for contact and hence thinner discs require angular alignment in order to ensure correct contact with the feature being probed.
Tungsten carbide
Provides exceptional rigidity, particularly with small stem diameters and shouldered probes. With large stem diameters and long styli you need to be careful about the weight. Ideally suited for most standard applications.
