ABSTRACT:
A touch probe is provided, including a deflectable stylus with a rest position mechanism on which the stylus is arranged, and a housing in which the rest position mechanism is accommodated. The rest position mechanism comprises a stylus holder with carrying elements and seating elements corresponding to the carrying elements that interact with the carrying elements to arrange the stylus holder in the touch probe. The carrying elements and seating elements form a sensing circuit which is closed when the carrying elements are in contact with the seating elements and which is open when one of the carrying elements is not in contact with a corresponding seating element. The rest position mechanism includes a spring element, which urges the stylus holder against the seating elements to position the stylus holder. Setting means, which allow setting of the pressing force of the spring element, are provided in the stylus holder.
