The design and quality of probes and probe systems have a decisive influence on tactile metrology. Whether ruby sphere or diamond tips, disc or star styli: with more than 7,000 styli in its portfolio, ZEISS delivers complete, highest-quality stylus systems from a single source. You can count on finding the best fit for your measuring processes and workpieces—and our metrology experts will gladly advise you on choosing the right tip.

Why ZEISS touch probes stand out:

Precision: Our styli enable accurate measurements and highly reproducible results.
Quality: Advanced production technologies make our styli especially accurate, stable, and durable.
Outstanding: ZEISS M3 XXT styli deliver higher overall system rigidity than conventional M3 styli.
Fast and easy: Our broad standard portfolio and ZEISS metrology workshop help you get the styli you need, when you need them.
Variety: Special styli cover demanding applications—star, cylindrical, T-shape, and many more beyond spherical tips.

ZEISS quality with every stylus use

Quality matters: styli may be small, but they are the part of the CMM that contacts the workpiece and transfers high-precision measurement through the stylus tip.

Lower-quality styli can significantly affect accuracy, drive scrap rates, and shorten stylus life. High-quality ZEISS styli help avoid these issues.

Recognizing top quality

The best styli are hard to judge by eye, but differences often show under the microscope—surface finish and joint design are key. That determines how long you can measure accurately with the same stylus, together with tip rigidity, geometric accuracy of the stylus element, and maximum sphericity of the ruby. ZEISS process controls ensure top manufacturing quality.

Improved production technologies

Technologies such as welding and laser processing, plus high-grade materials, extend stylus life compared with conventional manufacturing—saving resources and helping you deliver perfect parts, with certificates backing the promised accuracy.
