9 Adjust the reflector so that:
• its return beam centers on the target covering the laser head’s return
port, and
• the reflector is as perpendicular as possible to the beam coming from
the interferometer
10 You can adjust the reflector the same way you adjusted the
interferometer.
Secure the reflector to the target machine, maintaining the return beam’s
position in the center of the laser head’s target.
See the guidelines for securing an optic listed in step 6.
You are now ready to align the laser beam to the laser beam’s travel path.
If your measurement distance is less than 350 mm (14 inches), go directly
to “Aligning the Laser Beam to the Machine’s Travel Path for Short-Range
Measurements.”
If your measurement distance is greater than 350 mm (14 inches),
continue with the next section, “Aligning the Laser Beam to the Machine’s
Travel Path for Long-Range Measurements.”
Aligning the Laser Beam to the Machine’s
Travel Path for Long-Range Measurements
Follow the instructions in “Aligning the Laser Beam to the Machine’s
Travel Path for Long-Range Measurements” in Chapter 2.
You are now ready to make the measurement. Go directly to “Making the
Measurement.”
