ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a device for generating an optical collimating beam having a defined angle with respect to a base when mounted thereon even in the presence of extreme mechanical and thermal loads. The device can be used for testing long guideways on machine tools, for example. The device includes a housing wherein a collimator is mounted in a form-tight manner for imaging a collimating mark out to infinity. The collimator is configured as a mirror system and includes several components connected tightly to each other. These components define a chamber filled with a gaseous medium and through which the imaging beam path extends. The collimator functions without problems even in the presence of extreme mechanical and thermal loads and, most importantly, is insensitive to temperature changes.
