Process of laser point alignment (especially for positioning applications):
- Alignment at close range (about 5 cm): Align the sensor to the center of the measurement target (horizontally and vertically). Attention: Adjust the position of the sensor / measuring target only in this step. In the following steps only to fine adjustment of the sensor.
- Alignment first distance (about 10 m): Re-adjust the laser point to the center of the measurement target. Use the alignment screws of the sensor or the alignment possibilities of the sensor mounting.
- Alignment further/larger distance (about 20 / 50 / 100 m): Re-adjust the laser point to the center of the measurement target. Use the alignment screws of the sensor or the alignment possibilities of the sensor mounting.
Note: Typically, alignment is relatively good from about 50 m. - Check alignment: Check if the laser spot is on the measurement target for the entire measurement range. If it is not, restart from step 2.
