Abstract
A coupling arrangement is provided for coupling a measurement device to a coordinate positioning machine, wherein the coupling arrangement is adapted to provide over-travel protection for the measurement device when the measurement device is moved relative to the coupling arrangement towards an interface therebetween. The coupling arrangement is advantageously adapted to provide over-travel protection by causing the measurement device to become at least partially decoupled from the machine. The coupling arrangement is advantageously adapted such that the measurement device remains partially coupled to the machine when in an over-travel state.
