A gauge to adjust, reset and check probe trigger force settings on TP1, TP2 and TP6 touch-trigger probes
Enables the adjustment, reset and checking of probe trigger force settings on all standard Renishaw CMM touch-trigger probes
- Setting the optimum trigger force using the gram gauge maximises a probe's performance
- Can be used to set trigger force settings over a range from 4 grams to 35 grams
- Scale graduations are set at 1 gram intervals which is sufficient for all probe force measurements on CMMs
- Due to the use of SI units, the trigger force for probes is given in newtons - 1 gf = 0.01 N
