A probe head holder

摘要

A probe head holder for a measurement probe head (12) has a probe head mount (14) and a highly elastic, high hoop strength retention member (18) that flexibly secures the measurement probe head to the probe head holder. The probe head mount has a first surface adapted to receive the measurement probe head and a second surface extending from the first surface having at least a first groove formed therein normal to the first surface. The retention member is positioned around the holder and the probe head with a portion of the retention member being disposed in the groove. The probe head holder may be attached to a probe arm of a probing station. <IMAGE>
