METHOD OF INSTALLING OBJECT IN DESIGN POSITION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01B11/03 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: present method includes preparing a mounting area for installation of an object; creating a 3D model of said object by computer graphics and inputting theoretical coordinates thereof into a computer, wherein the theoretical coordinates of reference optical reflectors placed on the object are known in the theoretical coordinate system (3DK) in which the 3D model of the object is created. Further, the method includes fixed installation of said optical references in a random manner on the mounting area; installing an optical-electronic device for measuring angles and distances in the form of an electronic tachometer at an arbitrary point of the mounting area; measuring, in an arbitrarily oriented coordinate system, the actual coordinates of the fixed optical references and inputting said coordinates into the computer which already stores coordinates of said optical references in a base coordinate system (BCS). To superimpose the theoretical 3DK and the actual coordinate system of the object, guide optical references are installed, which define a base coordinate system of the mounted object, followed by measuring coordinates of said guide optical references; further, in the computer based on measurement data, converting the coordinates of any point on the mounting area into coordinates of the 3DK system by measuring the actual coordinates of the reference optical reflectors, and transmitting data thereof to the computer, while determining deviation of the position of the mounted object from the design position thereof.

EFFECT: simple process of determining the actual position of an irregularly shaped object.
