Extension M4, Ceramic

Multiway stylus holders enable the flexible configuration of star styli. Extensions are required when the measurement location cannot be accessed with the stylus alone, for e.g. to reach features in bores and hard to access areas on the workpiece. The very lightweight and extremely stiff character of ceramic materials and its low thermal expansion, makes it the ideal material, especially for long stems and extensions. The brittle characteristic can protect probes from the effects of crash.
