Facility and method for aligning a manipulator with a guide light beam

A method for aligning a manipulator with a guide light beam using an alignment facility, the method comprising:

• detecting, by an optical detection facility, a first projection of a guide light beam incident on a first projection surface produced on a first projection surface in a first projection surface position;
• detecting, by the optical detection facility, of a second projection of the guide light beam produced on the first projection surface or a second projection surface in a second projection surface position, wherein the first projection surface position and the second projection surface position are located one above the other at a distance from one another;
• ascertaining first position information and second position information describing a respective position of the first projection and second projection within the respective projection surface;
• ascertaining an angle between the guide light beam and the projection surfaces based on the first position information and the second position information by a computing facility;
• and
• providing the angle.

A non-transitory computer implemented storage medium, including machine-readable instructions stored therein for aligning a manipulator with a guide light beam using an alignment facility, the machine-readable instructions when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to:

• detect a first projection of a guide light beam incident on a first projection surface produced on a first projection surface in a first projection surface position;
• detect of a second projection of the guide light beam produced on the first or second projection surface in a second projection surface position, wherein the first projection surface position and the second projection surface positions are located one above the other at a distance from one another;
• ascertain first position information and second position information describing a respective position of the first projection and second projection within the respective projection surface;
• ascertain an angle between the guide light beam and the projection surfaces based on the first position information and the second position information by a computing facility;
• and
• provide the angle.
