Stylus overtravel
Note 1 Performance specification is tested at a standard test velocity of 240 mm/min (9.45 in/min) with a 50 mm (1.97 in)
carbon fibre stylus. Significantly higher velocity is possible depending on application requirements.
Note 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 and machine deceleration. RENGAGE™ equipped probes offer ultra-
low trigger forces.
Note 3 Stylus overtravel force in the XY plane typically occurs 70 µm (2755.91 µin) after the trigger point and rises by
0.1 N mm 10 gf/mm (9.1 oz/in) until the machine tool stops (in the high force direction and using a 50 mm (1.97 in)
carbon fibre stylus).
Note 4 Stylus overtravel force in the +Z direction occurs 10 µm (393.70 µin) to 11 µm (433.07 µin) after the trigger point and
rises by 1.2 N/mm, 122 gf/mm (109.60 oz/in) until the machine tool stops.
Note 5 These are the factory settings, manual adjustment is not possible.

Note 6 Speeds below 3 mm/min commonly occur when manually moving the probe using the handwheel with a very fine
feedrate.
