Title:
METHOD AND ROTATING LASER FOR DETERMINING AN ITEM OF POSITION INFORMATION OF AT LEAST ONE OBJECT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006070009
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to both a method for determining the horizontal position of an object (1), particularly of a mobile machine tool, which is to be oriented toward a height reference plane in a highly precise manner, while using at least one rotating laser (2), as well as to the rotating laser (2) itself. The rotating laser (2) comprises a rotating unit (3), a laser source (4) for emitting a laser radiation (5) into a rotating, horizontal direction of emission (a), and means for affecting at least one radiation parameter of the laser radiation (5) with an item of angle-dependent information from which the direction of emission (a) can be derived so that the direction of emission (a) is associated with the direction from the rotating laser (2) toward the object (1) that receives the laser radiation (5).
