Abstract
A test head through which passes a test object has at least one test probe guided in a circular orbital path around the test object. The shape of the circular orbital path of the probe, when considered in the travel direction of the object, diverges in a predetermined manner from a circular shape. A rotor guides the probe on a circular path, and the rotational axis of the rotor can be tilted with respect to the travel direction of the test object. The rotor is driven by a driving unit positioned laterally to the travel direction on a base plate by a belt drive which runs in a transmission element carrying the test head and linking it with a drive unit.
