COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE FOR DETERMINING SPATIAL COORDINATES ON A MEASUREMENT OBJECT, AND ROTATING AND PIVOTING FOR SUCH A COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE

摘要

A coordinate measuring machine for determining spatial coordinates on a measurement object has a probe with a probe sensor system. The probe can be moved relative to the measurement object. The probe holds a stylus (28) for making contact with the measurement object. The stylus (28) is coupled to the probe in a spatially adjustable fashion via a passive rotating and pivoting mechanism (60). The passive rotating and pivoting mechanism (60) has a transmission (86, 92) with an input drive side and an output drive side, the output drive side being coupled to the stylus (28) in order to adjust the stylus (28) relative to the probe, and the input drive side having at least one access point (88) in order to introduce an external drive torque for adjusting the stylus (28).
