Abstract
A connection unit for mounting a tool with precision and accuracy on a machine, particularly a measuring machine, but which at the same time does not provide a rigid connection between the tool and the machine so that if the tool undergoes accidental collision, it does not suffer damage, is described. The main feature of this connection unit is to comprise first and second members which can be fixed respectively to the machine and the tool, said first and second members being connected together by mutual positioning means, under the action of constraint means which allow a limited relative movement between said first and second members as a result of a displacement force exceeding a predetermined value and acting along directions and senses of movement allowed by said mutual positioning means.
