Specication
1 Performance specication is tested at a standard test velocity of 480 mm/min (18.9 in/min) with a 35 mm stylus. Signicantly
higher velocity is possible depending on application requirements.
2 Trigger force, which is critical in some applications, is the force exerted on the component by the stylus when the probe triggers.
The maximum force applied will occur after the trigger point (overtravel). The force value depends on related variables including
measuring speed, machine deceleration and latency.
3 These are the factory settings, manual adjustment of the LP2/LP2DD is possible, but not possible on LP2H/LP2HDD.
NOTE: For stylus recommendations, refer to the Styli and accessories technical specications (Renishaw
part no. H-1000-3200).
