It is often necessary to use pneumatic probes because it’s the only way to avoid side loading or to get the tip to a gauging point. |
| Tip force can also have a significant effect on repeatability, particularly in the gauging of fragile components such as glass or electrical components. |
| The tip force on Pneumatic Gauging Probes can, to a large degree, be controlled by the pressure of the air supply. The gaiter, which can have a significant effect on tip force, is replaced by a shroud on the AT and DT ranges of probes to ensure very low tip forces. However, they are unsuitable for use in wet or oily environments. |
