Abstract: A scanning probe for a coordinate measurement machine includes a stylus suspension module, a stylus position detection module, a disruptor configuration, and a signal processing and control circuitry module. The stylus position detection module includes a sensor configuration, which comprises various coils, and a shield configuration that is located around the sensor configuration and comprises electrically conductive material for shielding the sensor configuration. The stylus position detection module is mounted to the stylus suspension module utilizing a module mounting configuration, which enables the relative position of the sensor configuration to be adjusted for alignment during the assembly of the scanning probe.

Abstract: A modular configuration for a scanning probe for a coordinate measuring machine include a stylus suspension module, a stylus position detection module, and a signal processing and control circuitry module. The stylus position detection module is configured to be assembled separately from the stylus suspension module before mounting to the stylus suspension module. The signal processing and control circuitry module is configured to be assembled separately from the stylus position detection module and the stylus suspension module before rigidly coupling to the stylus position detection module as part of assembling the scanning probe.
