The Lasercheck is also sensitive to horizontal misalignment on curved surfaces.
If the Lasercheck Head is correctly aligned, the reflected and scattered laser light reflects back into the center of
the detector window. If it is misaligned, the reflected and scattered laser light reflects to one side or the other of
the center of the detector window.
This figure demonstrates horizontal misalignment because the laser beam and scatter does not reflect back into
the center of the head where the sensors are positioned. When a cylindrical surface is perfectly horizontally
aligned, all laser reflection is back into the centerline of the Lasercheck head.
