The experienced operator knows how troublesome initial laser beam setup and
drift can be in a conventional laser alignment system. The laser beam must frequently be checked to determine whether it has
drifted away from the target center; if it has, previous adjustments may be invalid. This can cause time-consuming and costly
delays in a work schedule. In a high-vibration environment, it is almost impossible to get a stable reading from a conventional
digital position display. The operator must "guess" when the target is properly aligned with the laser. EUCLID solves these
problems by employing a Reference Target that continually monitors the position of the laser beam and transmits this information
to the hand-held Pendant or a computer for real-time alignment compensation.
