Custom hub with (8) Q-Mark ATG-3050-L styli at 30 degrees from horizontal
Probe of the Month: September 2005
This is a custom hub with (8) Q-Mark ATG-3050-L styli at 30 degrees from horizontal. We made it from 6061-T6 aluminum and coated it with a clear anodize. It's shown at work on a client's Zeiss Prismo CMM. We made this hub about three years ago, and it's been in use ever since.
Our Q-Mark distributor in Ohio, Michael Bergmann of Inspection Engineering, says this hub concept sold his client on scanning. Michael states, "It's much faster than indexable probe heads, puts the stylus at the exact orientation, reduces probe changes and eliminates the need for extra tool bays."
Thanks, Michael! That says it all.
