I. INTRODUCTION
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Whether detecting misalignment in a vehicle’s structure or verifying repairs have eliminated the dam- age, Laser Lock computerized
measuring system can do the job. Laser Lock integrates the precision of laser scanning with a computerized data base for unmatched
accuracy in collision repair and analysis. In addition to showing extent of collision damage, Laser Lock monitors progress throughout
the repair and verifies the vehicle’s structure is correctly aligned. Printed reports verify the vehicle’s structural con- dition by showing
overhead diagrams that display centerline, datum line and datum height measure- ments.
The Laser Lock system measures on the principle of triangulation. The system’s electronic Body Scanner houses Laser Lights that
reflect off of revolving mirrors toward light-reflective Targets (each bearing a unique code) that are suspended from vehicle’s reference
points. The Body Scanner houses photo sensors that identify the angle of revolving laser reflections. This information is transferred to
the com- puter which performs the triangulation and Target identification functions.
