CONTACT TYPE SENSOR AND STYLUS MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contact type sensor improving measurement accuracy and a stylus manufacturing method that enables the improvement of the measurement accuracy. SOLUTION: The contact type sensor comprises a stem 11 and a stylus 1 having a contacting part 12 provided at the top of the stem 11 and outputs a contact signal by contacting the contact part with an object to be measured, in which the a contact part 12 has the almost same thermal expansion coefficient as the stem 11 and formed with a forming material, of which the melt has a property having no effect on the mechanical property of the stem 11. Then the forming material being in a melted state is adhered to the top end of the stem 11 and formed to a shape generated by the surface tension when the melt solidifies.
