Laser projector for chassis alignment

摘要

A laser projector for chassis alignment has a laser light source emitting a laser light beam, an optical element which generates a structured laser light pattern when it is irradiated by the laser light beam, a detector which is situated in such a way that it is irradiated by a sub-area of the structured laser light pattern and generates an output signal which is correlated with the radiation, and an evaluation unit which compares the output signal generated by the detector with at least one predefined setpoint value and turns off the laser light source if it detects a significant deviation of the output signal from the setpoint value.

1. A laser projector for chassis alignment, comprising:
a laser light source configured to emit a laser light beam; an optical element configured to receive the laser light beam and generate a structured laser light pattern from the received laser beam; a detector which is irradiated by at least one sub-area of the structured laser light pattern, wherein the at least one sub-area of the structured laser light pattern has a very high radiation intensity due to a diffraction to the order of 0, and wherein the detector blocks the at least one sub-area out of the structured laser light pattern; and an evaluation unit which performs a comparison between the output signal generated by the detector and at least one predefined setpoint value, and turns off the laser light source if the comparison results in a deviation.
