Abstract

The present invention is based on the object of enhancing a known positioning device such that it also enables the use of rod-shaped measuring devices having a uniform length, even for measuring points located at varying depths of an object, such as an extrusion die. This object is achieved according to the invention in that a sleeve is provided, which is connected at an axial extension to the distal end of the cylindrical guide element from the object, and in which the spring element and the measuring apparatus are also guided, and that the second stop for the spring element can be axially displaced beyond the distal end of the cylindrical guide element from the object with the help of the sleeve, and fixed.
