[Si...] Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hello, I have a part here that is post machined to remove plating and leaves bare aluminum. I posted in the past month about having the aluminum remove onto the Probe tip and destroying it. I was informed to look into Diamond tips.. With them being decently expensive, What would the best one be and would it not build up material from the Aluminum if I were to scan. Thanks in advance.

[To...] Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Silicon Nitride (SN) probes have more lubricity and will pick up a lot less aluminum over time. The price for SN probes are slightly higher than the standard Aluminum Oxide probes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be more specific, are you talking about the Diamond COATED ones at roughly $600, or the basic1K Diamond ones. Looking to get two, a 3mm and if they have a 1.5mm.

[To...] Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Not familiar with diamond coated probes. I think the 3mm diamond stylus Zeiss sells is around $1,800. It's been awhile since I've checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 🤣 Wir haben einen Diamant Taster und einen Diamant beschichteten Taster im Einsatz. In Deutschland ca. 900€ und der beschichtete ca. 600€ wir haben tausende Teile damit gemessen und der hohe Preis ist schon 2-3 bezahlt, und die Taster sind immer noch perfekt machen keine Kratzer ... 💡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I am glad to see the price has come down on the diamond probes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Si...] Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Please sign in to view this quote. So which would you recommend? The coated or default diamond stylus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If you're not concerned about price, I would go with the diamond stylus, especially if you are running high volume production on these parts. Otherwise, as Tom recommended, silicon nitride is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Please sign in to view this quote. ❗ ❗ Silvio, I think the coated probe is fine eonugh and it is in germany 30% under the diamond probe. We measured over thousend parts without defect on the prob or on the parts. With the old probe(ruby or silicium) there wer defects on the polished surface and material on the probe.

[Si...] Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Ok, Thanks. I will go with the default Diamond stylus then. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
