CMM styli · CNC probes · Metrology consumables
We manufacture ruby styli, tungsten carbide and ceramic stems, extensions, star styli and 3D edge finders for CMM and CNC in-process measurement — compatible with Renishaw, ZEISS, Hexagon, Mitutoyo, Marposs and BLUM systems. 807 part numbers in the catalogue, 596 of them cross-referenced to OEM numbers.
Why shops switch
Most stylus cost sits in distribution and paperwork, not in the sapphire sphere or the grinding. We sell the geometry and the proof, and we answer the same day.
Every batch ships with a calibration report traceable to an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory — ball diameter, sphericity, straightness and thread fit measured, not declared.
Send a drawing, a part number or a photo. You get price, lead time and freight the next business day — not a "we will revert" that never arrives.
Non-standard lengths, stepped stems, star configurations, carbide or ceramic. Drawing to first article in three working days, so a broken probe stops costing you a week.
Dedicated pages with full dimensional data, cross-references and lead times.
The workhorse. M4 thread, Ø6.0 ruby, Ø4.5 ceramic stem, 50 mm, EWL 38.5. A-5000-3709 cross reference.
BV-M4-50C-06R-370927 catalogue lines from Ø0.5 to Ø6.0 mm, carbide and ceramic stems, 10 to 100 mm.
BV-M3 seriesCeramic and carbon fibre extensions and long-reach styli, 100–300 mm, with the deflection numbers that decide the geometry.
BV-M4-100C / BV-M4-…FProduct range
M2, M3 and M4 threads; ruby balls from Ø0.5 to Ø8 mm; carbide, ceramic, carbon fibre and stainless stems; straight, stepped, star and extension configurations.

Ceramic or carbide stem, L50 mm. The workhorse for in-process inspection on vertical machining centres.

Tungsten carbide stem, L50 mm. Standard CMM workhorse for bores, planes and form measurement.

For small features, deep pockets and dense star builds. Smallest joint in the range — matched to light styli.

Ceramic and carbide extensions from L50 to L200 mm, M2–M5 adaptors, star centres and knuckles.

Mechanical 3D sensor for fast workpiece alignment. Find the centre in seconds instead of edge-finding with a calculator.

Ø8–Ø30 mm ceramic and tungsten carbide reference spheres with mounting stem, for CMM verification.

Quality & calibration
We are a manufacturer, not a calibration laboratory — so we do not claim an accreditation we do not hold. What we do is send every batch to an accredited laboratory and ship the report with the goods.
Custom geometry
Stepped stems for a deep bore. A 3 mm ball on a 120 mm carbide shaft. A star build that clears a fixture. Send the drawing at 9am, hold the first article on Thursday.
Drawing, sketch or a photo with dimensions. Thread, ball size, stem material and overall length is enough to quote.
We confirm geometry, tolerance and price the next business day — including what we cannot hold.
Machined, assembled and measured. Photos and measured values before it ships.
15 working days for volume. Same fixtures, same operator, same report.
Start with one stylus
We will send one free of charge — you cover the freight, and we credit it back on your first order. Measure it against what you run today. If it is out of tolerance, we do not want the order.
