Abstract
A sensor position control apparatus and method that includes a guide rail formed to be elongated along one direction set to a longitudinal direction thereof and a position control unit coupled to the guide rail and configured to slide along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. A sensor mount unit is connected to be moved together with the position control unit and has a sensor mounted on one surface thereof. In addition, an angle control unit is configured to change a direction which one surface of the sensor mounting unit faces and a position control driving unit is configured to transmit power to the position control unit. An angle control driving unit is configured to transmit power to the angle control unit.
Claims5
A sensor position control method that controls the position and angle of a sensor used for checking a bolt position alignment, comprising:
- primarily measuring, by a controller, sensor performance of detecting a position of a bolt, wherein the sensor performance is measured based on data stored in a database;
- in response to measuring the sensory performance, calculating, by the controller, a target position of the sensor based on data stored in the database;
- in response to calculating the target position of the sensor, correcting, by the controller, the position of the sensor based the target position of the sensor by operating a position control driving unit and an angle control driving unit;
- and
- in response to correcting the position of the sensor, secondarily measuring, by the controller, the sensor performance;
- comparing, by the controller, the secondarily measured sensor performance to a reference performance previously stored in the database to determine whether the secondarily measured sensor performance corresponds to the reference performance,
- wherein to the controller automatically corrects the position of the sensor.
