Abstract: A fixture enables a stylus extension to be angularly aligned relative to an adapter plate that mounts onto a CMM probe head. Alignment may be carried out on a flat surface remotely from the CMM. The adapter plate is mounted to the fixture, which includes an access hole providing access to adjustment screws at the rear of the adapter plate. One or more lateral extensions are connected to the stylus extension to define a calibration axis perpendicular to a probe axis of the stylus extension and perpendicular to a central axis of the adapter plate about which angular alignment is desired. Angular adjustments of the stylus extension are made while the adapter plate is mounted to the fixture, and a degree to which the calibration axis is parallel to a plane of the flat surface is detected, for example using a dial indicator engaging points on the lateral extension(s).

Abstract translation: 固定装置使得触针延伸部相对于安装在CMM探针头上的适配器板成角度地对准。 对准可以在远离CMM的平面上进行。 适配器板安装到固定装置上，该固定装置包括一个进入孔，该通路提供对适配器板后部调节螺钉的通路。 一个或多个侧向延伸部连接到触控笔延伸部以限定垂直于触针延伸部的探针轴线的垂直于适配器板的中心轴线的校准轴，在该中心轴线上期望有角度对准。 在将适配器板安装到固定装置上时进行触针延伸部的角度调节，并且检测校准轴平行于平面的平面的程度，例如使用在横向延伸部上接合点的千分表 （s）。
