ABSTRACT:
A scanning head (12) for a surface measuring machine has a probe tip (30), which is supported by a probe tip support lever (18) so that it can be deflected perpendicularly to the reference surface (82). Incorporated between the probe tip (30) and a rigid section of the probe tip support lever (18) is a force sensor (34), whereof the output signal serves as an actual value of a control circuit (56 to 60), which controls a magnetic servo motor (44, 46), which exerts a variable additional force, to be added to the force of a tension spring (42), on the probe tip support lever (18), the whole so that the contact pressure of the probe tip (30) is kept constant irrespective of the surface contour.
