Patent ID: 6842152

Claim:
A method for adjusting a detection axis of an object detection system in which object detection means having a predetermined detection direction (Ar 0 ) is fixed within a casing having a reference plane (P) on the outer face thereof, the method comprising the following steps: detecting an angular difference between the predetermined detection direction (Ar 0 ) and an object detection axis (Ar) of the object detection means in an initially fixed state of the object detection means relative to the casing; fixing to the casing a adjusting member having a first base surface and a second base surface, between which a wedge shape is formed, the adjusting member being mountable in rotationally different positions on the reference plane (P) of the casing with the first base surface being a mounting surface, wherein the adjusting member is fixed, based on the angular difference between the predetermined detection direction (Ar 0 ) and the object detection axis (Ar), at a rotational position wherein the direction of the second base surface coincides with the object detection axis (Ar) in a state wherein the adjusting member is mounted on the reference plane (P) of the casing; and adjusting the angle of the casing wherein a direction of the second base surface has a predetermined relationship relative to the predetermined detection direction (Ar 0 ).
