Abstract

A touch probe comprises a stylus carrier which, in use, supports a workpiece-contacting stylus. The stylus carrier is urged into a kinematic rest position with respect to the housing of the probe by a spring which acts between a movable clamping shuttle and the stylus carrier. The clamping shuttle is movable within a bore and is engageable by an adjusting screw to adjust displacement of the clamping shuttle within the bore, and thus the degree of compression of the spring and the biasing force on the stylus carrier.
