ABSTRACT:
An alignment device adapted to be combined with a manufacturing machine having a rotating cylinder. The device comprises at least one laser that emits a line of light across the vertical axis of the cylinder, and at least one laser that emits a line of light across the horizontal axis of the cylinder. The device further comprises measuring devices such as rulers mounted along the horizontal and vertical axis of the cylinder. In use, the lasers emit a line of light across the measuring devices and across the cylinder's surface to create an x y-axis thereon. The laser beams allow the extrapolation of the measurements from the measuring devices onto the cylinder's surface so a machinist can easily locate the precise coordinates on which to mount tooling onto the cylinder.
