Abstract
A multi-coordinate probe is described for use in measuring machines and machine tools for measurement of workpieces. A support system is described which is configured as a multi-point bearing or support having a plurality of support points. Each support point comprises a bushing integrated into the measuring dish by way of a counter member for a ball as a support member and which is alignable with a bushing in the probe housing base. The automatic adjustment of the ball is assured by a spherical member carrying the ball and being rotatably supported in a seat or lodgment. In case of a misalignment between the bushing and the ball, a torque acting upon the spherical member causes an alignment of the ball. In the adjusted stable position, the spherical members are fixed relative to their seat or lodgment.
