Definition of the term "parallel spacing"
As shown in Figure 5.4, dimension X describes the "parallel spacing" of the inner edges of
the two laser light spots on the reflector.

The diameter of the light spot increases with distance.
Thus, the center-to-center spacing of the two AMS 348
i
SSI devices with respect to one
another can be calculated as a function of the maximum measurement distance.
To define the minimum parallel spacing between two AMS 348
i
SSI, it is necessary to distin
-
guish between three different arrangements of AMS 348
i
SSI and reflectors.
The AMS 348
i
SSI are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane.
Both reflectors move independently of one another at different distances to the
AMS 348
i
SSI.
Minimum parallel spacing X of the two laser light spots:
X = 100mm + (max. measurement distance in mm x 0.01)
The AMS 348
i
SSI are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane.
Both reflectors move in parallel at the same distance to the AMS 348
i
SSI.
