Components of a probe system

The probe system comprises:
Probe head
Adapter plate
Probe stylus

Functions of the components

The probe is used for probing the workpiece. One or more probes are
mounted on the adapter plate. The adapter plate and the probe form
a single unit.
The adapter plate is used to hold one or more probes and fasten
them to the probe head. Proper fastening is ensured by means of a
three-point bearing. The adapter plate is held by a magnet integrated
in the adapter plate receptacle of the probe head.
A pin located on the adapter plate receptacle is mated to a recess on
the edge of the adapter plate. The adapter plate must be inserted in
the adapter plate receptacle so that the pin fits into this recess.
