Abstract:
An apparatus for aligning members of a horizontal metal extrusion press comprising: at least one spindle laser for projecting a narrow collimated laser beam toward a photocell target; a first photocell target for receiving said beam and generating signals which are indicative of an angle and position of said laser beam with respect to said target; a scanning laser for sweeping a laser beam along a horizontal plane; a second photocell target for receiving said scanning laser beam and generating signals which are indicative of the position of said target with respect to said horizontal plane; a data acquisition station for converting said signals of said first and said second photocell targets into forms which can be used for aligning members of said horizontal extrusion press; and a plurality of adapters for mounting said lasers and said targets on members of a horizontal metal extrusion press.
