Abstract

A laser tracking device includes an adjustment device, a telescope, and a drive device. The adjustment device modifies the emission direction of first light wave. The telescope emits the first light wave in the emission direction modified by the adjustment device. The drive device rotates the telescope based on a predicted path of a moving body. The adjustment device provides more precision in modifying the emission direction of the first light wave than in the drive device rotating the telescope. Further, the adjustment device modifies the emission direction to offset the modification of the emission direction caused by the rotation of the telescope from a time when a tracking start condition is satisfied until the moving body is detected.

Abstract

In a method for estimating flange displacement, effective three-dimensional coordinate data is ascertained at a lower first position of a first supported portion in a plane contiguous to a lower flange surface, and an upper first position that matches the lower first position in the horizontal direction in a plane contiguous to an upper flange surface. The effective three-dimensional coordinate data ascertained in the effective coordinate ascertaining step is changed so that the effective three-dimensional coordinate data of the first lower position and the effective three-dimensional coordinate data of the first upper position match. On the basis of the difference between a vertical position indicated by the effective three-dimensional coordinate data at an upper target position in the upper flange surface after the coordinate change and a vertical position indicated by the effective three-dimensional coordinate data at a lower target position in the lower flange surface after the coordinate change, the amount of vertical displacement of the upper target position and the lower target position at the time of the change from an open state to a fastened state is determined.

Abstract

In this method for estimating a flange displacement amount, effective three-dimensional coordinate data items are obtained at: a lower first position in a plane contiguous to a lower flange surface of a first supported part; and an upper first position that is located in a plane contiguous to an upper flange surface and that matches with the lower first position in the horizontal direction. The effective three-dimensional coordinate data items at the respective positions are changed such that the effective three-dimensional coordinate data item at the lower first position and the effective three-dimensional coordinate data item at the upper first position match with each other. On the basis of a difference between the vertical-direction position indicated by an effective three-dimensional coordinate data item at an upper target position after coordinate change in the upper flange surface and the vertical-direction position indicated by an effective three-dimensional coordinate data item at a lower target position after coordinate change in the lower flange surface, the amount of vertical-direction displacement is determined for the upper target position and the lower target position when a transition is made from a disengaged state to a fastened state.

Abstract

This flange displacement amount estimation method is for understanding valid three-dimensional coordinate data at a lower first position in a surface connected to a lower flange surface of a first supported part, at a lower target middle point position in the lower flange surface, at an upper first position the horizontal position of which matches with the lower first position in a surface connected to the upper flange surface, and at an upper target middle point position in the upper flange surface. The valid three-dimensional coordinate data at each of the positions is changed so that the valid three-dimensional coordinate data at the lower first position and the valid three-dimensional coordinate data at the upper first position can match each other. An intermediate position between the lower target middle point position and the upper middle point position in a vertical direction after the coordinate change is set as a target contact position. The difference between the upper target position and the target contact position in the vertical direction is set as a displacement amount of the upper target position, and the difference between the lower target position and the target contact position in the vertical direction is set as a displacement amount of the lower target position.
