ABSTRACT:
An energy beam position detector including a shape memory alloy wire positioned at a boundary of acceptable beam trajectory. The wire is held under adjustable tension. A contraction detector monitors contraction of the wire. If the beam strays, is misaligned, or spreads and strikes the wire, the contraction detector can actuate a switch to alert personnel, shut off the beam, or can exert a force to enable other remedial action be taken.
