Abstract
A sensor module for a probe head of a tactile coordinate measuring machine has a frame forming a stationary module base, thereby defining a first measurement plane. A moving part is connected to the frame via webs. Each web has a thick-material web portion arranged between two thin-material web portions, if seen in a cross section perpendicularly to the first measurement plane. The thick-material web portion has a material thickness greater than the corresponding material thickness of the thin-material web portions.

A sensor module for a probe head of a tactile coordinate measuring machine, the sensor module comprising a frame which forms a stationary module base and thereby defines a first measurement plane, and comprising a moving part configured to move relative to the frame and configured to hold the proximal end of a stylus, wherein the moving part is held on the frame via at least two webs separated from one another, wherein each web has a cross section perpendicularly to the first measurement plane, with the cross section showing a first web portion having a first material thickness and two second web portions having at least a second material thickness, wherein the first web portion is arranged between the two second web portions, and wherein the first material thickness is thicker than the second thickness.
A probe head for a tactile coordinate measuring machine, the probe head comprising a sensor module having a frame which forms a stationary module base and thereby defines a first measurement plane, and having a moving part configured to move relative to the frame and configured to hold a first end of a stylus, wherein the moving part is held on the frame via at least two separate webs, wherein each web has a thick-material web portion arranged between two thin-material web portions in a cross section perpendicularly to the first measurement plane.
