Axial alignment aid for remote control operations and related method

摘要: An axial alignment aid for remote control operations and related method are provided. A mirror located on a first movable member gathers light from its field of view in front the reflects it at right angles to beam splitter which video camera member. laser, also member, projects thin through expander beam-expander lens template gives projected pattern. The then off another mirror, passes beam-splitter is reflected original mirror. on-axis with (coincidentally camera's view), inverted match reflective visual indicator or target mounted second so that optical axis collinear off-axis rotation operator's perspective will result back-projected laser spot center indicator's surface. On other hand, left cause appear Finally, if operator centers surface by moving via feedback circuit, be exactly indicator. Positive indication precise members thus achieved can safely accurately docked
