Abstract

Abstract The system has two stages and consists of a first central touch head (1) of large diameter and small touch heads (21) having dimensions that are reduced by comparison with the first touch head. The small touch head (21) can optionally be applied instead of a rigid touch pin (14) to the receptacle (8) of the central touch head (1). Given the exchange of a small touch head (21), an electronic arrangement (30) switches over to the touch systems (10, S27) of said head, and increases the biasing (3) in the central touch head (1), which functions in this mode of operation as a collision safeguard. <IMAGE>
