Abstract
Method for marking of at least one point on an object, especially for marking of at least one measurement point or a defect site on a vehicle or vehicle components, in which the object is illuminated with a light beam by means of at least one projection device, so that the point of impact of the light beam on the object defines the point being marked.
Claims24
A method for marking a plurality of fixed points on an object, comprising the steps of:
- illuminating the fixed points on the object with a laser having a light beam so that the impact of the laser's light beam defines the fixed point being marked;
- and
- determining a spacing between the illuminated fixed points.
A method of displaying information pertaining to a vehicle being manufactured as it is transported on a production line, comprising the steps of:
- determining the information in accordance with measurement of spacing between measurement points;
- and
- projecting the information onto the vehicle with one of a laser and a laser scanner and tracking the vehicle with the one of the laser and the laser scanner as the vehicle is transported on the production line to maintain the display of information on the vehicle as it is transported on the production line.
A method of non-destructively marking at least one of measurement points and defect points on a vehicle being manufactured as it is transported on a production line, comprising the steps of:
- illuminating the points on the vehicle with a light beam of one of a laser and a laser scanner and tracking the movement of the vehicle as it is being transported on the production line with the one of the laser and the laser scanner to maintain the illumination of the point with the light beam as the vehicle is being transported on the production line;
- and
- determining a spacing between the illuminated points.
