Laser Alignment Improves Appearance, Safety, Efficiency
Long operating life, fuel efficiency, passenger safety and customer satisfaction - all important considerations in the transportation industry - rely heavily on precision alignment of body parts and operating components. In recent years, lasers and laser sensors have become integral parts of robot guidance systems that facilitate and optimize production, particularly for automotive and aircraft bodies. By the early 1980s, US automakers were incorporating laser technology into the body assembly...
