Angle measuring stylus for VAST XXT

[[Ma...]]

Hello Guys,

 Could you advise me what angle system for measuring e.g. a hole at a 45 degree angle (photo below) I should choose for the VAST XXT (Zeiss Duramax) head?

I found some solution in Zeiss store but I don't know how it should be connected to the plate

 

Maybe you have some experience with angle measurements

That will work fine.  There is also an adjustable knuckle that will give you flexibility for other uses.

 for you answer.

But could you explain to me how to connect the set below so that it works correctly?

I want the angled pin to be precisely rotated in a specific axis. Do I need some kind of adapter?

The stylis should be able to connect directly to that adapter. Or you could add a carbon fiber extension. I use an optical comparator to set the angles.

Yes, M3 Thread.  if you have a optical comparator, you can set the 45° angle.  You can also use a comparator for the radial angle, using two of the ball holes.  There are 3 small set screws that you can loosen to allow the knuckle to rotate to the desired angle. Then, tighten the 3 screws. The picture doesn't appear to show the separation line between the conical component and the swivel component, shown in drawing

Now I understand. Thanks a lot.

So it is enough if I order this knuckle to create this angular stylus. I don't need anything else
