Optoelectronic System for Measuring Heights Above a Floor
Abstract
An optoelectronic system has been developed for measuring heights, above a floor, of designated points on a large object. In the original application for which the system was conceived, the large object is a space shuttle and the designated points are two front and two rear points for the attachment of jacks for positioning the shuttle at the height and horizontal pitch specified for maintenance operations. The front and rear jacking points are required to be raised to heights of 198 1/4 in. (502.9 0.6 cm) and 120.6 1/4 in. (306.4 0.6 cm), respectively.
