Abstract

See full text

A method and an apparatus for monitoring a bearing state of a probe or probe part of a coordinate measuring machine, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one evaluation device and at least one monitoring circuit. A probe-side bearing section is mountable on a measuring-machine-side bearing section via a plurality of bearing devices. The monitoring circuit comprises at least one subcircuit per bearing device. A variable dependent on a resistance of the monitoring circuit is determinable. A resistance value of the subcircuit in a closed state of the bearing device is different than a resistance value of the subcircuit in the open state of the bearing device. The monitoring circuit is designed in such a way that an open or closed bearing state of each bearing device is determinable depending on the variable dependent on the resistance of the monitoring circuit.
