ABSTRACT:
A three-axis continuous, sensor device, such as a probe, includes a base structure and a stylus supporting member. The base structure and stylus supporting member are connected by three control arms that limit movement of the stylus supporting member relative to the base structure to movement along the three linear axes. Each control arm includes a pair of four-bar parallel linkages connected in series. Three sensor legs also are connected between the base structure and the stylus supporting member to sense movement of one with respect to the other.
