  • Publication number: 20240035861
    Abstract: A device for determining a reference curve for a rotational position of a rotary component rotatable about an axis of rotation. An encoder disk is connected to the rotary component and is rotatable about the axis of rotation where the encoder disk is circular and has a periodic outer contour with periods. A beam source emits a measuring beam directed onto the periodic outer counter of the encoder disk. A control unit is connected to a sensor unit. Each of the periods of the periodic outer contour of the encoder disk are made up of a respective first function portion and a respective second function portion where the first function portion and the second function portion follow a monotonic progression and where one of the first function portion and the second function portion increases monotonically and the other of the first function portion and the second function portions decreases monotonically.

  • Patent number: 10823565
    Abstract: A method for measuring a measurement distance between a rotating laser, which emits a first laser beam that can be rotated about a rotational axis and/or a stationary second laser beam, and a laser receiver, which has a detection field with a measurement function. The rotating laser is inclined in a direction of inclination by an inclination angle. The position of incidence of the inclined laser beam on the detection field of the laser receiver is determined as a measurement point. The distance between the measurement point and a zero position of the detection field is stored as the height, and the measurement distance between the rotating laser and the laser receiver is determined using the inclination angle and the height.

  • Patent number: 10823566
    Abstract: A method includes comparing a received beam hitting a laser receiver in a transverse arrangement with a rotating laser beam which is moved about an axis of rotation in a vertical position by a rotary laser. The laser receiver includes an evaluating unit and a detection field having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The rotary laser is arranged on a rotational platform that can be adjusted about a rotation axis, and the vertical laser plane that the rotating laser beam produces is moved by the rotational platform in a direction of rotation about the rotation axis. In the longitudinal direction of the detection field, an adjustment direction of the received beam relative to the laser receiver is determined by the evaluating unit and the adjustment direction of the received beam is compared with the direction of rotation of the rotational platform by the evaluating unit.
