Robust kinematic probes with M8 and Autojoint mounting options.
The TP6 and TP6A probes have different probe mount options (M8 thread and Autojoint respectively). Both probes are kinematic touch-trigger probes and have manually adjustable trigger force for optimum probe performance with different stylus configurations.
