TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

Silicon Nitride (SI3 N4) - Smoother surface (lower friction) - Ideal for scanning on Aluminum parts

(no build up of material particles)

- Higher cost - Diameters sizes limited

(from 1 to 10 mm only as standard larger diameters are possible under request)

Tungsten Carbide - Low weight - Possible to obtain the ball from stem

machining - Better shock absorption - Normally used on articulated arms

- Surface and dimensional features lower than Ruby

- rapid loss of dimensional tolerances

- very low roundness and roughness for ball sizes under 1 mm diameter

Zirconium Oxide (Zr O2) - Very good surface features (comparable to Ruby)

TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

TEMP-COMP Constant Length at Varying Temperatures

Coordinate Measuring Machines are being introduced directly to the production area thus reducing and eliminating delays in obtaining corrective values for production machines and making process control more efficient

However in order to obtain maximum performance in shop floor measurements several challenging requirements must be met

Minimize thermal expansion to preserve accuracy especially at high temperature gradients on the manufacturing floor

High mechanical rigidity which has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the measurement

Low weight enabling usage of long stylus combinations

itpstyli manufacturers a new generation of carbon fiber styli and extensions to help obtain accurate measurement in your production area Engineered to meet the harsh environments of space and aviation TEMP-COMP addresses the thermal expansion rigidity and low weight requirements needed to obtain accurate measurements

Initially developed for aerospace applications unique carbon fiber materials are used in TEMP-COMP styli and extensions These carbon fibers are coiled at high density in several layers and directions which allows for exceptionally high bending and torsion rigidity

Most importantly this technology provides a consistent thermal expansion coefficient

TEMP-COMP products combine titanium fittings and a proprietary manufacturing technology that produces a thermally stable and rigid component unmatched in the CMM metrology market

The following performance data (as illustrated in Table 1) highlights the unique TEMPshyCOMP advantages

An E-module of approximately 450 Gpa (Giga-pascal) Compare this to a normal rate of 250 Gpa on other carbon fiber extensions

Extremely low thermal expansion coefficients

Linear expansion of - 000002 mm per degree Kelvin with an extension of 200 mm

Linear expansion of + 0000118 with an extension of 100 mm per degree Kelvin

Design Your Own Custom Stylus

The extensive itpstyli product line will address many of your application needs but not all of them As such itpstyli has developed business and manufacturing processes to make it easy and affordable for you to design and receive your custom stylus

Your design will fall into one of two categories special or exotic A special design is a unique configuration that utilizes standard components such as M2 thread titanium base ceramic stem and a ruby ball The dimensional requirements and combination of materials are what make it special

An exotic design is one that has a component or feature that cannot be found in our catalog such as a 02 mm ruby ball attached to a 7 mm stem and base

Custom styli cost and turnaround time

Special styli will ship within 72 hours from receipt of order and your cost will be reasonably similar to that of the closest item that we offer in our standard line

Exotic styli which require more time to estimate manufacturing cost and delivery time will be quoted within 48 hours

Design Your Own Custom Stylus

The extensive itpstyli product line will address many of your application needs but not all of them As such itpstyli has developed business and manufacturing processes to make it easy and affordable for you to design and receive your custom stylus

Your design will fall into one of two categories special or exotic A special design is a unique configuration that utilizes standard components such as M2 thread titanium base ceramic stem and a ruby ball The dimensional requirements and combination of materials are what make it special

An exotic design is one that has a component or feature that cannot be found in our catalog such as a 02 mm ruby ball attached to a 7 mm stem and base

Custom styli cost and turnaround time

Special styli will ship within 72 hours from receipt of order and your cost will be reasonably similar to that of the closest item that we offer in our standard line

Exotic styli which require more time to estimate manufacturing cost and delivery time will be quoted within 48 hours
