Performance specification is tested at a standard test velocity of 240 mm/min (9.45 in/min). Significantly higher
velocity is possible depending on application requirements.
2
Trigger force, which is critical in some applications, is the force exerted on the component by the stylus when the
probe triggers. The maximum force applied will occur after the trigger point (overtravel). The force value depends
on related variables including measuring speed, machine deceleration and latency.
RENGAGE equipped probes offer ultra-low trigger forces.

These are the factory settings; manual adjustment is not possible.
4
Stylus overtravel force in the XY plane occurs 80 μm (3149.61 µin) after the trigger point and rises by 0.35 N/mm,
36 gf/mm (32 ozf/in) until the machine tool stops (in the high force direction and using a carbon fibre stylus).
5
Stylus overtravel force in +Z direction occurs 7 μm to 8 μm (275.59 µin to 314.96 µin) after the trigger point and
rises by 1.5 N/mm, 153 gf/mm (137 ozf/in) until the machine tool stops.
