Patent ID: 8847845

Claim:
A mount for a movable sensor on a support structure, which sensor is alignable with a sensor target on a support structure, comprising: at least three mutually spaced sensor-based bearings; at least three mutually spaced support-structure-based bearings; at least three longitudinally adjustable actuator units configured between an associated sensor-based bearing and an associated support-structure-based bearing; and a center bearing configured to pivotably support the movable sensor on the support structure about a kinematic center point on at least three spatial axes, wherein the sensor-based bearings each have a kinematic bearing center point about which the respective bearing allows a pivot motion on three spatial axes, wherein the sensor-based bearings are spherical-joint-type bearings, wherein the kinematic bearing center points of the sensor-based bearings are located in a common plane, and wherein the kinematic pivot point of the center bearing is located in the plane of the kinematic center points of the sensor-based bearings.
