    Abstract: A device for calibrating a laser level includes a base platform, a target, and an image recognition device. The base platform is configured to support the laser level that is to be mounted on the base platform at a first position. The target is arranged at a second position of the base platform and configured to receive a laser. The image recognition device is configured to obtain images of lasers projected on the target before and after the laser level rotates a first angle, determine, based on an image recognition result of the images, positions of the lasers emitted by the laser level to determine a deviation distance, and determine whether the laser level needs to be calibrated based on the deviation distance. The deviation distance is determined by position data of the first position and the second position, and the first angle.

    Abstract: A scale includes a diffraction grating configured to condense diffracted light in a periodic direction of the diffraction grating in order to detect a reference position. A light receiving element array is configured to receive light from the diffraction grating. The light receiving element array includes first to fourth light receiving elements configured to output signals having phases different from each other. The first light receiving element and the second light receiving element are adjacent to each other and are arranged between the third light receiving element and the fourth light receiving element. The processing unit generates a signal representing the reference position based on a differential signal between a signal from the first light receiving element and a signal from the third light receiving element and a differential signal between a signal from the second light receiving element and a signal from the fourth light receiving element.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for an angle meter cooperatively using two or more non-contact distance meters for measuring distances to a surface along substantially parallel lines. The measured distances are used for estimating or calculating the angle to the surface and the distance to the surface. The distance meters may use optical means, where a visible or non-visible light or laser beam is emitted and received, acoustical means, where an audible or ultrasound sound is emitted and received, or an electro-magnetic scheme, where radar beam is transmitted and received. The distances may be estimated using a Time-of-Flight (TOF), homodyne or heterodyne phase detection schemes. The distance meters may share the same correlator, signal conditioning circuits, or the same sensor. Two or more angle meters may be used defining parallel or perpendicular measurement planes, for measuring angles between surfaces, and for estimating physical dimensions such as length, area or volume.

    Abstract: A system for controlling an alignment of a first machine with respect to a second machine. The system includes a projector mounted on the second machine. The projector is configured to project one or more light beams. The system further includes an image capturing device configured to capture one or more images of the first machine and the one or more light beams. The system further includes a controller configured to determine a position of the first machine with respect to the one or more light beams based on the one or more images and generate an alert when one or more characteristics of the one or more light beams shifts from a first condition to a second condition.

    Abstract: A laser-based measurement device includes a laser transmitter; a laser receiver; an optical device configured to guide a laser beam emitted by the laser transmitter out of the laser-based measurement device and guide the laser beam reflected by an external environment in the laser receiver; and a driving device including a first magnetic member connected to the optical device and a second magnetic member. The driving device is configured to drive the optical device to vibrate through interaction between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, to change a guiding direction of the laser beam passing through the optical device.

    Abstract: An optical system for producing a structured optical beam including a convex lens having a spherical or cylindrical entry surface, an electromagnetic radiation source configured to provide a substantially coherent beam of electromagnetic radiation, and a focusing element arranged along the optical axis of the optical system. The electromagnetic radiation source is arranged to produce an illuminating beam which illuminates the convex lens over a selected illumination fraction of the spherical or cylindrical entry surface and with a corresponding selected focus of the illuminating beam such that the beam traverses a sufficient refractive volume of the convex lens to produce aberrations in the beam emerging from the convex lens such that it comprises a structured optical beam. The system and method allows for generating a structured beam which can propagate over the large distances while maintaining a well-defined cross-section intensity distribution.
