Abstract: A probe, connectable to a machine tool, has an electric generator and a driving element. The electric generator supplies an electric or electronic circuit with electric power, and the driving element is capable of relative rotation with respect to the stator of the electric generator. The driving element is not connected to any external energy source and can be set in rotation simply by activating the rotary axis of the machine tool. The driving element is either rotatably mounted on the probe itself or fixed on the reference table of the machine tool. The probe requires no additional connections to the machine tool on which it is mounted, besides the connection to the rotary spindle, which can be realized with a conventional tool-holder with a standardized tapered shank. The probe is fully compatible with standard probes and can be mounted and used with standard tool-holders without any adaptation.

Abstract: A measuring method and system involving a measuring coordinate probe, which can be moved precisely, by appropriate actuators, with respect to a positioning platform (60) on which the probe is mounted; and whose position relative capable to said positioning platform (60) can be measured, by suitable encoders (780). The invention can be carried out with probes, actuators and encoders of different nature. The actuators (730) preferably allow the motion of the probe according to two or more independent degrees of freedom, so that the probe itself can be moved in a plane, or in a three-dimensional region of space, and its orientation can be chosen, within some suitable limits. The method and system of the invention provide very exact local measurement, even if the platform (60) does not deliver the very best precision.

Abstract: Tool rack for tools of a coordinate measuring machine, wherein the guiding and retaining surfaces of the tool rack are arranged on two planes offset vertically so as to cause the tool to tilt when it is unhooked. The inventive arrangement allows the mechanical efforts during uncoupling to be reduced appreciably. This reduction is due to the tool tilting and to the residual magnetic force being divided between three retaining point, with a positive effect on the coupling precision and on the tool positioning in the tool rack.

Abstract: Touch probe including a fixed part (250), designed to be fastened onto a measuring machine or a machine tool, and a contact feeler (30) that is mobile and orientable on two independent axes (211, 212) along a multiplicity of directions indexed in space.
