Alignment Targets
Targets are used for alignment and calibrating transport systems.
Disks are typically used with systems containing a single sensor and can be ordered from LMI
Technologies. When choosing a disk for your application, select the largest disk that fits entirely within
the required field of view. See Accessories on page 791 for disk part numbers.
For dual- and multi-sensor systems, where sensor laser planes are roughly coplanar, bars are required to
match the length of the system by following the guidelines illustrated below. (LMI Technologies does not
manufacture or sell bars.)
For multi-sensor systems in a ring layout, use a polygon-shaped alignment target. The number of corners
in the target should correspond with the number of sensors in the system. Sensors should be positioned
so that each sensor can scan a corner and surrounding surface.
