The TP20 is a compact 5-way, or 6-way, kinematic touch-trigger probe system.
The two-piece design, comprising probe body and detachable stylus module(s), connected using a highly repeatable magnetic kinematic coupling.
This provides the facility to change stylus configurations either manually or automatically without the need for requalification of the stylus tips, thereby giving significant time savings in inspection routines.

Modules offering a range of trigger forces allow the probe performance to be best matched to the measurement task. A set of probe extensions is also available, as is a 6-way module.
The stylus mounting thread accepts styli from the Renishaw M2 range.
The TP20 system is easily retrofitted and is compatible with existing touch trigger probe interfaces, extensions and adaptors.

   SF - Standard force (black cap) suited to the majority of applications
> LF - Low force (green cap) where application requires low trigger forces, for example rubber seals
> MF - Medium force (grey cap) where higher force than SF is required
> EF - Extended force (brown cap) where large styus assemblies are to used and also where spurious 'air' triggers due to machine vibration preclude the use of SF or           MF modules
> 6W - 6-way (blue cap) for applications requiring measurement in the -Z direction, for example when measuring the width of undercuts
> EM1 STD - 50mm extension module (black cap) for majority of applications
> EM2 STD - 75mm extension module (black cap) for majority of applications
