Next, one or more transparent targets are placed directly in the beam path. As the laser light passes through each transparent target, the target is able to determine the X-Y deviation of the laser beam with respect to the center of the tooling sphere. Finally, this positioning information is output, in real-time, to a CPU for con- trol, display and analysis. (An optional Remote Data Terminal or computer can be used for data collection or remote operation.)

The Line Laser Advantage. Laser based alignment provides significant advantages over competing alignment techniques. ● Cost Effective. Outperforms laser tracking systems in this specific applica- tion, at a fraction of the price. ● Ultra Precise.
