A metallurgical probe has a probe longitudinal axis and an open end face. The probe is fitted within a bearing point in such a manner that the open end face faces a predetermined insertion direction. The bearing point has probe centering elements to hold the probe in a predetermined probe position as seen transversely with respect to the probe longitudinal axis. A device inserts an end of the contact rod into a contact rod centering device, in an insertion direction running transversely with respect to the probe longitudinal axis, until the end of the contact rod is positioned, on account of the insertion into the contact rod centering device, in a predetermined contact rod position, in which the end of the contact rod is opposite the open end face. The contact rod is then moved in a direction of the probe longitudinal axis and is inserted into the probe.
