I watch these probes being pulled from the tool rack all day and see reports asking for +-.001" profile....5 tenths on each side. I also know the machine is stated at like 6ish microns per meter or some nonsense like that. Anyway, I've done machining, manual/cnc, I've done grinding....how does this probe sitting on a rack, get automatically placed onto this probe mid-program within 5 microns or 2 tenths from the last time it was placed? That precision in my mind I have to be wringing gage blocks together to remove the air.
As Matt says, the magnets don't actually touch each other, they just provide the force to hold the kinematic coupling together. Here is some further reading:
