Connection elements

Constructing stylus systems

There are many ways of combining elements. Please observe the following:

As few connection points as possible

A stylus system should consist of as few connection elements as possible, since each interface can be solved. This can lead to a loss of stiffness. If you can combine several elements in one element, for example an extension and a cube, this is always preferable.

Fixed connections for serial measurements

For serial measurements, fixed connections, such as milled angle pieces, are to be preferred, since the angles do not change as a result of continuous operation.

Movable elements for maximum flexibility

Movable elements, such as knuckle elements, increase the flexibility of a stylus system. Any angle can be set repeatably. An integrated taper mount also allows rotational adjustment of solid angles. This maintains the flexibility of the stylus system.
