ABSTRACT:
An instrument for measuring both the static attitude and Z-height of a suspension assembly flexure. The instrument includes an autocollimation system for measuring static attitude angles. The autocollimation system is fixedly mounted to a laser point range sensor for measuring Z-height distances. Optics coincidentally direct the beams of light from the collimation system and from the point range sensor system to a measurement point. The optics include at least one reflector or other optical device. The instrument offers accurate distance and angle readings in a shore amount of time with no repositioning of the instrument, the base, or the part to be measured.
