Abstract:
A reseat system of a touch signal probe, comprising:a fixed component; a movable component having a stylus; a first reseat component provided on the fixed component; a second reseat component provided on the movable component, the second reseat component touching the first reseat component at a pair of contact points on three locations mutually spaced apart, the reseat system of a touch signal probe allowing displacement of the movable component relative to the fixed component when an outside force is applied to the stylus and returning the movable component to a rest position when the outside force is not applied to the stylus by virtue of a biasing force; and a contact point displacer for relatively displacing the first and second reseat components, said first and second reseat components configured such that the contact point displacer moves the contact point on both the fixed component and the contact point on the movable component at least a predetermined distance.
