What Is The Advantage Of Active Alignment

By Elinor Tran


Automotive and manufacturing industries have been impacted greatly by advancement in technology. One of the transformations that have been done is digitization of systems. System digitization has increased safety of machines and automobiles. Active alignment of systems using computers has improved quality and performance of products.

Nowadays vehicles use cameras which are actively aligned to help the driver get a view of everything happening close to the vehicle. A monitor is strategically placed in the vehicle so that the driver can view all the camera views when driving. At night the driver can use the cameras for a better view. The cameras use infra red night vision at night.

This kind of alignment has helped drivers come out of compromising situations. The actively aligned cameras also warn the driver when the vehicle is too near to a pedestrian, another vehicle or any other obstacle. The driver can therefore avoid such imminent accidents. Statistics show that actively aligned automobiles have recorded very few accidents compared to the rest.

Sensors are fitted in the vehicle to take over control in case something happens and the driver loses control of the vehicle. Sensors are able to force the car to a halt when a collision is imminent. Airbags are also activated when an accident occurs. Crash investigators also use data from the cameras recorded by an analog video recorder to access the cause of an accident.

Planar and single channel systems are used to actively align manufacturing processes. Dynamic adjustment of manufacturing processes has resulted in quality and highly performing products. The risks workers faced when working have been reduced greatly because they no longer have to do everything by hand.

It is amazingly easy to measure small measurements and make minor adjustments. This means the quality is improved performance of products has been enhanced. active alignment also costs less than passive in the long run.
