  • System for measuring points on a vehicle during damage repair
    Patent number: 7376492
    Abstract: A carriage moves back and forth under a vehicle and three cameras or laser fixed along one axis pivot in a common plane, utilizing two cameras at time to locate a target fixed to a reference point on the undercarriage of the vehicle. Triangulation calculations, combined with the location of the cameras provide the location of the reference point in space in a three-dimensional coordinate system and compare that location with a stored designed location of the reference point prior to the crash, allowing the vehicle structure to be returned to its designed shape by other equipment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2008
    Assignee: Matrix Electronic Measuring, L.P.
