Abstract
A probe head for a coordinate measuring machine has a first probe head part with an interface, for coupling the probe head to the coordinate measuring machine. A second probe head part is coupled to the first probe head part and is rotatable relative to the first probe head part about a first axis. A third probe head part is coupled to the second probe head part and is pivotable relative to the second probe head part about a second axis. The first and second axes lie askew in relation to each other. A first actuator pivots the third probe head part about the second axis via a push rod coupled to the third probe head part at a lateral distance from the second axis. The first actuator moves the push rod in a longitudinal direction to pivot the third probe head part relative to the second probe head part.
