Scanning head

The Invention relates to a probe with a fixed member (9) and pressure-sensitive sensors (5), wherein the sensors (5) relative are stationary relative to the stationary component (9) and a deflectable Probe element (2). The sensing element (2) in this case has a longitudinal axis (A), a first contact point (P1) and a second contact point (P2) on. touching of the probe element (29 are compressive forces (F) via the first contact point (P1) in the sensors (5) can be introduced. Upon further displacement of Probe element (2), this can be converted into a stop position, in wherein the second contact point (P2) of the probe element (2) the fixed Component (9) supportively touched. The probe element (2) is designed such that in the stop position in which the sensors (5) einleitbaren compressive forces (F) are limited, wherein a first distance (d) between the first contact point (P1) and the longitudinal axis (A) is smaller than a second distance (D) between the second Contact point (P2) and the longitudinal axis (A).
