Should I choose a stationary or spring-loaded probe?

Updated

MaxxTooling generally recommends stationary probes when a rigid reference is appropriate.

The spring movement in a spring-loaded probe does not protect the tip against every accidental contact. A tip can still bend or break if mishandled.

A damaged tip can introduce measurement errors and interrupt an automated operation.
