Measurement Applications

Typical TriAngle® Measurement Applications


The applications of TriAngle® autocollimators are mainly related to the detection and measurement of small angular displacements. TRIOPTICS has successfully supported customers in a wide area of application fields.

  • Assembly and adjustment of optical components like mirrors, prisms, windows, wedges etc.
  • Alignment of machinery
  • Proof of straightness and flatness of tables, rails, linear guides, etc.
  • Measurement of yaw, pitch and roll errors of linear stages
  • Characterization of rotation stages (wobble and run-out measurement)
  • Measurement of wedge, prism and polygon angles
  • Measurement of parallelism of reflecting surfaces
  • CD/DVD ROM alignment (focusing and tracking)
  • Thermal stability investigations
  • Analyzing the stability or deformation of mechanical or optical constructions
  • Vibration analysis
  • Alignment of astronomical systems
  • Alignment of components for the beam control in high energy physics
  • Inspection of solid state Laser rods
  • and many more ...

A few prominent examples will be given in the following sections.
