Extension for three‑point IMS 12–16 / 16–20 mm — 152.4 mm length, Ø 11.8 mm (Metav IndustryLine)

The Extension for three‑point IMS 12–16 / 16–20 mm is an accessory that increases probe reach for precise, repeatable measurements in narrow or recessed components and is designed for use with compatible three‑point IMS measuring systems.

• Precision fit Ø 11.8 mm stem
• 152.4 mm reach for recessed features
• M8 thread for secure mounting
• Lightweight construction at 0.2 kg

Measure recessed features with consistent repeatability

The extension delivers a controlled increase in reach while maintaining alignment between probe and workpiece. Its 152.4 mm length extends access into deep bores and recessed geometries, while the Ø 11.8 mm stem ensures a snug, low‑play fit in the probe holder. For workshop applications that demand repeatable contact points, this accessory reduces the need for complex fixturing and speeds up inspection cycles without compromising the integrity of the measurement process.

Secure fixing and mechanical reliability for industrial use

A standard M8 mounting thread provides a mechanically secure connection that resists loosening during handling and measurement. The extension’s compact mass (approx. 0.2 kg) keeps inertia low, which helps preserve probe responsiveness and repeatability during sequences of successive measurements. This mechanical reliability supports rational workflows by reducing re‑set times and avoiding time‑consuming recalibration between short production runs.

Suited to the micro measurement category and common three‑point ranges

Classified for the micro measurement range, the accessory matches measuring setups covering the 12–16 mm and 16–20 mm three‑point probe ranges and is therefore appropriate for fine mechanical and small‑part inspection tasks. By matching the probe’s intended measuring band, the extension keeps measurement geometry within expected tolerances and supports consistent results across batches and operators.

Practical workshop benefits and compatibility notes

Designed as an accessory for three‑point IMS probes, the extension integrates with existing metrology equipment to expand capability without replacing the primary instrument. Its standardised interface allows simple installation and repeatable positioning, which decreases setup complexity and improves throughput. For procurement planning, this approach delivers a cost‑effective enhancement to existing inspection rigs while preserving investment in calibrated probes.

FAQ

Is this extension compatible with standard three‑point IMS probes?
Yes. The extension is designed for three‑point IMS probe assemblies covering the 12–16 mm and 16–20 mm ranges and mounts via a standard M8 thread for secure connection.

Will the extension affect measurement repeatability?
When fitted correctly to a compatible probe holder, the extension preserves repeatability by keeping probe alignment; its slim Ø 11.8 mm stem and controlled length minimise play and deflection during typical workshop use.

What mounting interface is required?
A standard M8 threaded interface is required for installation; the extension was produced to mate with common three‑point IMS holders used in precision measurement set‑ups.

Is the extension suitable for handheld use or only for fixed fixtures?
Its lightweight construction (approx. 0.2 kg) makes it practical for both careful handheld positioning and use in fixed fixtured inspection stations, depending on the application and operator technique.

Can this accessory be used to extend probes for deep bores and recesses?
Yes. The 152.4 mm reach is aimed at accessing recessed features and deep bores where the base probe cannot reach while maintaining reliable contact geometry.
