The IRP40.50 is ideal for inspection in tight spaces and was designed to address the needs of miniature machining centers. The m&h IRP40.50 is the world’s smallest self-contained wireless CNC probe with a diameter of 25 mm, a length of 44.2 mm without shank and stylus, and a probing force of 0.7N (XY). The probe’s small dimensions enable measurement of small and delicate workpieces. With the shank and stylus included, the IRP40.50 is slightly larger than a standard USB stick. Typical applications for the probe include micro-manufacturing in the firearms, medical, dental, additive manufacturing, and electronic industries, or any manufacturing that involves small parts with complex geometries and tight tolerances.
