Abstract
Some embodiments include a measuring probe adapted to be attached to a probe head of a coordinate measuring machine for determination of at least one spatial coordinate of a measurement point on an object to be measured, the measuring probe comprising an optical measuring unit adapted to provide distance measurements of measuring points at the object and a probe interface which provides modular mounting of the measuring probe to a probe head of the coordinate measuring machine and transmission, in particular bidirectional transmission, of optical signals between the probe and the coordinate measuring machine. The probe interface is designed as an integrally formed module providing a reproducible mountability of the measuring probe at the probe head and comprising a one-sided component of a ball bearing.
