Abstract
A measuring head 2 for a measuring device, in particular a geometrical and dimensional measuring device, having a base body 4, which on the one hand can be connected to or is connected to the measuring device, and which on the other hand carries a probe body. An overload protection mean is provided, which in order to protect the measuring head or as the case may be the measuring device, from damage, is tripped in the event of an overload acting on the probe body. The overload protection means is inventively configured as an irreversible overload protection means 12, 14, 16, 18.
Claims23
A measuring head for a measuring device, comprising:
- a base body, which on the one hand can be or is connected to the measuring device, and on the other hand carries a probe body;
- and
- an overload protection means which is tripped in order to protect the measuring head and/or the measuring device against damage in the event of an overload acting on the probe head,
- wherein the overload protection means is configured as an irreversible overload protection means.
A protection unit of a measuring head for a measuring device, said measuring head having a base body, wherein the base body, on at least one protection element, has a disconnection point at which the protection element breaks in the event of an overload, wherein the protection unit has a first component which is connected to or can be connected to the probe body, and a second component which can be connected to the measuring device, or which is connected to or can be connected to a part of the base body which can be connected to the measuring device, wherein the first component is connected via the protection element or the protection elements to the second component.
