Abstract
An apparatus for exchanging measuring and/or sample probes which can be removed from a probe cartridge and then attached to a contact tube arranged at the lower end of a sublance. To enable a quick exchange of probes a gripper is provided for grasping the probe. The gripper is connected via a joint with an extension arm which is displaceable telescopically by a drive unit arranged so as to be movable on a rotatable and vertically adjustable table by at least two piston/cylinder units. A control device is provided for controlling the apparatus.
