The stylus trigger force is the force exerted
on the component when the probe triggers.
However, the maximum force applied to
the component will occur after the trigger
point and will be greater than the trigger
force. The magnitude depends on a
number of factors affecting probe overtravel
including measuring speed and machine
deceleration. If the forces applied to the
component are critical, contact Renishaw
for further information.
