Equip Your CMM for Precision: Shop Styli, Probes and Accessories at Penn Tool Co.
A CMM is only as reliable as the probing components used to capture each measurement. Worn styli, damaged probe tips, or poorly matched configurations can introduce measurement errors, reduce repeatability, and compromise the inspection data your quality team depends on.
Since 1968, Penn Tool Co. has equipped machine shops, metrology labs, and manufacturing facilities across the USA with dependable inspection and measurement solutions. Our selection of CMM styli and CMM probes helps inspection teams maintain accurate contact with critical part features across a wide range of coordinate measuring applications.

From individual CMM stylus tips and CMM probe styli to complete CMM stylus kits and extensions, Penn Tool Co. provides the components needed for precise, repeatable dimensional inspection.
Precision Probing Solutions for Every CMM Inspection Task
Our catalog is built around the practical probing requirements of modern metrology departments. A properly selected CMM stylus provides the contact geometry needed to measure surfaces, edges, holes, and other critical features with consistent results. For demanding inspection routines, specialized CMM stylus tips allow technicians to match the probing configuration to the size, shape, and accessibility of the feature being measured.
For applications where durability and consistent contact are essential, a CMM ruby stylus provides a hard, wear-resistant probing surface suited to frequent measurement cycles. When existing components become worn or damaged, CMM replacement styli help inspection teams restore probing performance without replacing the entire setup.
Facilities handling a variety of inspection requirements can also benefit from a complete CMM stylus kit, providing multiple stylus configurations in one convenient solution. For teams working with interchangeable probing setups, CMM module and stylus kits can provide additional configuration options for different inspection requirements.
For automated or contact-based inspection, a dependable CMM touch probe provides consistent feature detection and supports repeatable point collection throughout the measurement process. From individual CMM probe styli to complete probing configurations, Penn Tool Co. provides the components needed to keep CMM inspection accurate and efficient.
CMM Probing Trends: Innovations Across the USA
As American manufacturers continue to demand tighter tolerances, faster inspection cycles, and more repeatable measurement data, CMM probing technology continues to evolve.
- Interchangeable Stylus Configurations: Metrology teams are increasingly using modular CMM styli that can be changed quickly to accommodate different feature geometries, reducing setup time between inspection programs.
- Ruby-Tipped Probing: Durable CMM ruby styli remain a popular choice for precision inspection because their hard contact surfaces provide consistent probing performance through repeated measurement cycles.
- Extended-Reach Inspection: Complex components with deep bores and recessed features are driving demand for CMM stylus extensions, allowing technicians to access difficult measurement points without changing the entire probe configuration.
- Complete Stylus Kits: Facilities managing diverse inspection workloads are turning to CMM stylus kits that provide multiple tip and configuration options, helping technicians select the appropriate stylus for each application.
- Reliable Replacement Strategies: Instead of replacing complete probing assemblies, quality departments can use compatible CMM replacement styli to address worn or damaged components while maintaining established inspection setups.
