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. |
