ABSTRACT:
An exemplary contour measuring probe includes a guide (12), a movable rack, a counter-balancing mechanism, a linear measuring scale (24), and a displacement sensor (26). The movable rack comprises a tip extension (20) for touching a surface of an object. The tip extension (20) is pushed to move towards the object under a gravitational force acting on the movable rack. The counter-balancing mechanism is configured to partially counter balance the gravitational force acting on the movable rack. The linear measuring scale (24) displays values of displacements of the tip extension (20). The displacement sensor (26) detects and reads the displacement values displayed by the linear measuring scale (24).
