Abstract
The invention is directed to a probe head of a coordinate measuring apparatus for conducting measurements on a workpiece. The probe head has a first longitudinal axis and has a probe pin mounted on the probe head. The probe pin has a second longitudinal axis defining an angle with the first longitudinal axis. A joint-free, rigidly-configured adjusting device adjusts this angle when the probe pin is not in contact with the workpiece.
