StyliCleaner Launches Compact Styli Cleaner Designed for Smaller CMM Machines
Precision measurement demands precision tools — and a clean stylus is essential for accurate coordinate measuring machine (CMM) results. Building on its reputation for innovation in automated stylus maintenance, StyliCleaner has announced the launch of its latest SC5C model, a compact, fully automatic stylus cleaning system designed specifically for smaller CMM machines.
Precision Starts with a Clean Stylus
In CMM operations, measurement accuracy depends on the condition of every component involved — and the stylus is no exception. Even the slightest contamination, whether on the stylus tip or the workpiece surface, can introduce errors that compromise the reliability of inspection results.
A clean stylus ensures that contact points are measured precisely, enabling true dimensional verification rather than distorted readings caused by debris or residue. Maintaining stylus cleanliness is therefore essential to achieving consistent, traceable, and repeatable measurement outcomes.
“Even a tiny speck of contamination can undermine the credibility of an entire measurement process,” comments Frank Lammertink CEO of StylusCleaner. “Our automated cleaning systems ensure that every data point collected is accurate and repeatable.”
Automation That Saves Time and Boosts Throughput
Manually cleaning and recalibrating a CMM stylus can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes all while the CMM sits idle. The StyliCleaner eliminates this downtime. With a fully automated cleaning cycle lasting just 30 seconds, users can restore stylus cleanliness and continue measuring immediately, without recalibration.
The result: consistent measurements, higher CMM availability, and significant productivity gains.
Introducing the SC5C – Compact Power for Small CMMs
Responding to customer demand for a smaller, space-efficient solution, the new StyliCleaner SC5C has been engineered with a shortened column and integrated cleaning chambers, making it the most compact StyliCleaner ever developed. Despite its reduced size, the SC5C delivers the same cleaning performance and reliability as its larger counterparts.
“The SC5C brings the performance of our proven StyliCleaner technology to smaller coordinate measuring machines,” said Lammertink. “It’s compact, efficient, and easy to integrate — designed for manufacturers who refuse to compromise on measurement quality, no matter the size of their CMM.”
The SC5C ensures that every CMM measurement is performed with a perfectly clean probe, eliminating contamination errors that compromise quality control. It’s an essential tool for any metrology lab or production environment where time, accuracy, and consistency are critical.
