Abstract:
1. Device for qualitative or quantitative determination of the three-dimensional location of two bodies relative to one another, with respect to at least one of translational and angular coordinate systems, comprising: a transmitting device which emits a light beam which is flared in at least two planes, a receiving device with at least two linear optoelectronic sensors for determining incidence points of the light beam which has been flared in at least two planes on the indicated optoelectronic linear sensors, lengthwise axes of the optoelectronic linear sensors being non-orthogonally aligned with respect to each other, wherein the optoelectronic linear sensors are arranged in an annular manner in which each optoelectronic linear sensor overlaps adjoining optoelectronic linear sensors with the overlapped sensors together producing a gap-free measurement range.
