INSTALLATION AND ALIGNMENT OF OPTICS
Important Considerations
1. The Angular Interferometer must be locatcd between the la s er Head and the Angular
Reflector
Ir, the laser beam.
2. The beam from the
la ser Head must enter the Angular Interferometer -
• through the single opening on one side. for an In· lin e measuremelll. or -
• through the opening in the bOil om , for a measurement along an axis perpendicular to
the laser bcam.
The side
of Ihe Angular IllIerlerometer with two openings should always be facing the Angular
Reflector.
( See Figure 8·8 and Figure 8-9 .)
3. Vibrations and loose connections must be minimi zed by proper mounting. Avoid long
extension s. Make sure that all supports are completely statior,ary. A spindle, for example. must
be secured by a brake so it won't rotate. ( If a brake isn't available try using a hose damp or a
wedge.)
4.
The laser beam must be returned to the bottom port on the laser Head's turret.
5. The
Optics must be aligned 10 the Laser beam well enough to keep the Beam Strength indicator
in the green region along the entire optics' path.
6.
If the Distance Optics ha ve previously been installed. you can install the Angular Optics by
simply changing the
OptiCS. without eh.m!:!!in!:!! the mounting hardware.
7. The laser Head's turret ring should be
set to "OTHER".
Description
1. You will initially position the Optics around the Laser beam while they are at the near end of
travel using the pro cedures that follow .
2. Next, you will adjust the Laser Head to track the Optic's progression "Iollg the travel path, while
maintaining Ihe beam's near-end·of-travel poSition. ( See " GUNSIGHT" alignment method In
Section 15 of this User's Guide .)
