ITP Star Styli - Type V with a ruby ball and M5 thread (TIM501311040) is a precision probing accessory designed for metrology professionals who need reliable measurements on large diameters, deep features, and threaded geometries. Built for stability over long gauging lengths, it minimizes bending and deflection while delivering repeatable results.

• Type: Type V Star Stylus with fixed probe arms for stable, long-reach measurements.
• Contact Ball: Ruby ball provides wear resistance and consistent contact for accurate readings.
• Attachment: M5 thread on the top for secure mounting to compatible probes.
• Measuring Length: 3.5 mm measuring length to extend reach without compromising precision.
• Versatility: Supports a wide range of fixed probe arms to enable task-specific measuring programs.
• Special Use Case: When there is no probe in the stem direction (Type W), measurements can approach the bottom of holes for detailed inspection.

With the ruby ball and Type V design, this stylus handles challenging features—such as large diameter holes, undercuts, and threads—while maintaining accuracy and repeatability. The combination of a long gauging length and fixed probes accelerates setup, reduces cycle times, and improves consistency across parts. Ideal for CMMs and other probing systems needing a reliable, adaptable solution for complex geometries.
