Tech/Engineering - Metrology / Messmaschinen
German term or phrase: Wechselmimik
Gleich beim nächsten Satz - es handelt sich noch immer um die Beschreibung einer neuen Messmaschine - stolpere ich über einen Begriff, der mir in den letzten (fast) 20 Jahren noch nicht begegnet ist:

"Die *Wechselmimik* (ich ergänze: des Fräskopfs) ist so konzipiert, dass auch taktile Messtaster oder Diodentaster jederzeit schnell, sicher und bedienerfreundlich über den bekannten Würfelkopf eingesetzt werden können."

Mein Ansatz: (frei)
"The construction of the milling head allows/enables the fast, secure and user-friendly replacement/fitting also of tactile or diode probes via the known receptable cube at any time."

Was meint ihr hierzu?
