Probe Profile

Good afternoon,

I have 1x15 Styli Product A-5000-8876, M2 Ø1 mm ruby spherically ended cylinder, stainless steel stem, L 15 mm (renishaw.com) . I am unable to find it in probe building dropdown list. I found 1X20 but not 1X15.

Anny suggestions what should I do?

  • You can find and edit your probe file to create the one you are looking for, then paste it into your usrprobes.dat file.

    (just an example)
    ITEM:TIP1.0BY35.5MMSHNK M2
    HxPartNumber 03969278
    HxPartName M2-SPHERICAL CYLINDER STYLUS (TC/TC-1-L35.5)
    begintip
    ribcount 10
    color 142 142 142
    cylinder 0 0 0 0 0 -2.5 3
    cone 0 0 -2.5 3 0 0 -7.5 1
    color 255 0 0
    cylinder 0 0 -7.5 0 0 -35.5 1  <--- this line should the "end" of the shank
    sphere 0 0 -35.5 1
    hotspot 0 0 -35.5 0 0 1 1 15 shank
    endtip

    You would just need to change the -35.5 to be the correct number you need, -15 in your case.
