Stylus system rigidity

[[Do...]]

I've built a new stylus system and am curious about the rigidity values I am seeing. Based on what I've read, an ideal system would have a rigidity of 50+ while Zeiss recommends a rigidity of at least 30 to minimize deflection error. The system I've built shows a rigidity between 14 and 15 for either stylus while performing a standard Tensor qualification. I also tried a dynamic tensor qual and it was the same result. For reference, the only stylus on our machine that reaches 50+ is the masterprobe (barely). All other stylus' on our machine fall short of the 30 threshold. Both the styli and extensions are carbon fiber for this system. Is this an expected rigidity or do we have a potential issue with our Vast XT?

try CFX Reach extensions ??

I don't think rigidity over 50 is reachable with T extensions. I have only a few probes over 50 and they short probes directly attached to the cube or with a very short extension. Myself, I don't worry about rigidity causing issues if it is over 20.
