Abstract: A drive coupling is disclosed coupling a ball screw drive mechanism to a driven carriage so as to maintain precisely the position of the carriage with respect to the ball screw in directions along which the carriage moves while allowing lateral relative movement therebetween, the coupling being comprised of a bearing block receiving a pair of pins, one pin fixed to the carriage, the other fixed to the drive member of the ball screw mechanism with the pins extending transversely to each other and passing into preloaded axial bearing sets carried by the bearing block in a plane normal to the direction of the carriage movement.

Abstract: A probe assembly is disclosed carrying a grid grating and an index grating adapted to generate a Moire pattern upon relative movement in either or both of two orthogonal directions in a common plane. The index and grid gratings are supported for precise orthogonal motion with respect to each other by means of a pair of grating support assemblies mounted so that the correct index and grid grating spacing and orientation are precisely maintained, including a cross-slide assembly provided to allow movement in a plane while maintaining the proper orientation between the grating assemblies.

Abstract: PROBE FOR A COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE A probe assembly is disclosed carrying a grid grating and an index grating adapted to generate a Moire pattern upon relative movement in either or both of two orthogonal directions in a common plane. The index and grid gratings are supported for precise orthogonal motion with respect to each other by means of a pair of grating support assemblies mounted so that the correct index and grid grating spacing and orientation are precisely maintained, including a cross-slide assembly provided to allow movement in a plane while maintaining the proper orientation between the grating assemblies. A probe tip assembly is supported for friction-free parallel movement by a ball bearing and thrust plate arrangement and is coupled to one of the grating support assemblies by a ball and groove connection to prevent the transmission of any axial loads to the transducer and also of any substantial torque loads tending to misalign the gratings.
