The dual-sided conical stylus on the Mitutoyo FTA-C4000 allows for continuous upper and lower face contour measurement, including the effective diameter of screw threads. The selectable measuring force feature eliminates the need to set the measuring force by exchanging weights or switching orientation for faster, more efficient measurements. With an optional surface roughness detector head, the FTA-C4000 can perform both surface roughness and contour measurements quickly the machine’s unique hot swap feature.

• Mounting an arm onto the Z1-axis contour detector with a magnet-type attachment system further improves measurement efficiency
• Hot swapping allows switching between the contour detector and roughness detector without powering the machine off
• The tool-less replacement mechanism uses a thumb-turn clamp for much faster switching between detectors
• Stylus drop detection feature detects any sudden drop of the stylus and stops the measurement operation
• Collision monitoring for the magnet arm and detector cover ensures safe measurements even during high-speed movements
• Optional accessories for automatic measurement automate processes from the setup to the measurement
