Rotating/pivoting sensor system for a coordinate measuring apparatus is provided. The rotating/pivoting sensor system includes a coupling mechanism with which the rotating/pivoting sensor system can be coupled to a measurement head of a coordinate measuring apparatus, a sensor-holding part which is connected directly or indirectly to the coupling mechanism, a sensor which is mounted rotatably about a first rotation axis on the sensor-holding part and which is pivotable about the first rotation axis in a continuous angle range, an angle-measuring system with which a pivoting angle of the sensor can be determined, a fixing device with which the sensor can be fixed in a pivoting position, and a method for adjusting a rotating/pivoting sensor system in a coordinate measuring apparatus.

Rotating/pivoting sensor system for a coordinate measuring apparatus

An arrangement measures coordinates of a workpiece and/or machines the workpiece. The arrangement has a first part and a second part that can be moved relative to the first part. The relative mobility of the first and second parts is specified in addition to a possible mobility of a probe that is optionally additionally fixed to the arrangement. The mobility of the probe is specified by a deflection of the probe from a neutral position during a mechanical probing of the workpiece for the purpose of measuring the coordinates. A measuring body is arranged on the first or second part, and at least one sensor is arranged on the other part, i.e. on the second or first part. The sensor generates a measurement signal corresponding to a position of the measuring body and thus corresponding to the relative position of the first and second part.

A rotor arrangement for a slip ring assembly, comprising a shaft element and at least one contact ring. The shaft element is at least partially in the form of a hollow shaft with a hollow interior and a casing wall. The shaft element has a middle section and each contact ring is arranged on the shaft element in the middle section and is electrically insulated from the shaft element by means of an insulation. The middle section has at least one cutout through the insulation and the casing wall into the interior. Each contact ring is connected to a cable element which is guided through one of the at least one cutout into the interior. The shaft element has a first end section with an outer circumferential cross section for the rotationally fixed coupling. Furthermore, a rotary coupling arrangement comprising a rotor arrangement of this kind is proposed.

A measuring head for a coordinate measuring machine for determining spatial coordinates on a measurement object has a coupling part for detachably receiving a measurement tool. The coupling part has a number of first bearing elements, a magnet and a retaining pin. The measurement tool has a disk with a number of second bearing elements, an anchoring plate and at least one adjustable locking element. The magnet is configured to attract the anchoring plate so as to bring the first and second bearing elements into engagement with one another. The first and second bearing elements, in the engaged state, define a defined position of the measurement tool on the coupling part. The at least one locking element secures the measurement tool to the retaining pin. The anchoring plate is detachably secured to the disk and the at least one locking element retains the anchoring plate on the retaining pin.
