INDUCTIVE POSITION SENSOR WITH POSITION DETECTION CONFIGURATIONS

原文（中文）

A measuring probe for a coordinate measuring machine is provided. The measuring probe includes a stylus position detection portion with a sensing coil configuration comprising a plurality of sensing coils. Different couplable coil portions (e.g., which each at least partially surround a central axis) are provided that may be connected (e.g., individually and/or in series as part of an axial, rotary or normalization sensing coil of the plurality of sensing coils) as part of different stylus position detection configurations. For example, a first couplable coil portion may be connected to provide signals as received by signal processing and control circuitry in a first stylus position detection configuration, and may not be connected to provide signals in a second stylus position detection configuration. A second couplable coil portion may be connected to provide signals received by the signal processing and control circuitry in at least a second stylus position detection configuration.
