Abstract
A touch probe with an arm () coupled to a movable arm-set () supported in a casing () includes an electric switch () with a housing () fixed to the casing and a mechanical transmission device () for mechanically transmitting displacements of the arm, and causing the disengagement of a conductive small ball () from two stationary conductive bars (), thereby opening an electric detecting circuit. At the interior of the probe casing, a sealingly closed chamber houses the switch and is filled with inert gas, for example nitrogen, for protecting the electric contacts.
