METHOD OF MATING LONGITUDINAL AXES OF ON-BOARD DEVICE AND OBJECT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G01B11/26 

FIELD: instrument engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method can be used at adjustment of on-board devices at objects of different purposes to provide high precision of navigation. Error angle of incoming normal of on-board device's reflector is measured relatively its longitudinal axis. Optical axis of first theodolite is adjusted along direction of object's longitudinal axis and along direction of incoming normal of on-board device's reflector. Second theodolite is mounted on left board of object in such a manner that first theodolite could be sighted on from the second one. Optical axes of theodolites are matched when first theodolite is disposed in area of sight of object's longitudinal axis. After that optical axes of theodolites are matched.

EFFECT: improved precision.
