Choosing styli for inspection
In the majority of probing applications to maximize accuracy we recommend that you:

Keep the Styli short and stiff

The more the stylus bends or deflects, the lower the accuracy. Probing with the minimum stylus length for your application is recommended and where possible the use of one piece styli is suggested. Probing with excessive styli/extension combinations should therefore be avoided.

Keep the Stylus Ball as large as possible

This will ensure maximum ball/stem clearance whilst providing a greater yet rigid Effective Working Length (EWL). Using larger ruby balls also reduces the effect of surface finish of the component being inspected.

Effective working length (EWL) is the penetration that can be achieved by any ruby ball stylus before its stem fouls against the feature. Generally the larger the ball diameter the greater the EWL (see bleow).

EWL can also be affected by assembly tolerances. For this reason Renishaw styli are assembled to exacting standards in controlled conditions.
