Mitutoyo Corporation (Headquarters: Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki; President: Shigeyuki Sasaki) announces the launch of two new probes for coordinate measuring machines (CMMs): the MPP-002 small, high-precision scanning probe and the MTP-002 small, high-precision touch-trigger probe. Mitutoyo remains committed to contributing to the future of manufacturing through precision measurement.
The development was driven by strong demand from existing CMM users for probes that offer higher performance, precision, and durability.
The MPP-002 is a scanning probe featuring proprietary sensing technology that enables high-precision measurement and high-speed control. Its design, which separates the detection springs for the XY and Z directions, improves durability, reduces downtime caused by failures, and lowers running costs. Furthermore, it supports a wide range of stylus lengths with a single probe body, reducing initial investment.
The MTP-002 achieves high durability, precision, and a compact size (13.5 mm outer diameter) through a unique structure and advanced signal processing. Sensitivity adjustments to prevent false inputs—often occurring with long styli or in high-vibration environments—can be configured via software rather than hardware. When combined with a stylus change system, it enables fully automated measurement, significantly improving operational efficiency.
Sales will commence on September 1, 2026. The products will also be exhibited at JIMTOF 2026 (The 33rd Japan International Machine Tool Fair), held at Tokyo Big Sight from October 26 to 31, 2026.
