    Abstract: There is provided a target installation apparatus. A rod-shaped member is capable of being arranged to extend in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle ahead of or behind the vehicle, and is provided with a target point indicating an installation position of the target. A reference member is formed such that reference points are positioned on left and right outer sides in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle when the reference member is arranged with respect to the vehicle. A connection unit connects the rod-shaped member and the reference member such that a distance from the reference point to the target point in the front-and-rear direction satisfies a predetermined condition.

    Abstract: A fastener locating tool equipped with a sensor head having one or more probes and a method for operating such a tool for precisely locating a fastener that is hidden or buried under a thick coating applied on a surface of a structure. The fastener locating tool may be manually or automatically operated. The fastener locating tool includes a platform having a central opening, means for temporarily attaching the platform to a coated surface, and a sensor head that may be easily mechanically coupled to and then later decoupled from the platform. Optionally, the fastener locating tool also includes a multi-stage positioning system with X and Y stages which may be used to adjust the position of the sensor head. The sensor head includes at least one probe which generates electrical signals indicating the presence of a fastener beneath a coating when the probe is within a detection range.

    Abstract: A robot includes an actuator that changes an angle of a second member relative to a first member in accordance with a command value. In a first step of an angle calibration method, a measurement object distance is obtained by measuring a distance between wall surfaces of the two measurement object portions, the measurement being made while the actuator is given an arbitrary command value. In a second step, an angular difference is obtained by calculation, the angular difference corresponding to a difference in distance between two measurement object portions, the calculation being made based on a reference measurement object distance obtained in the past and the measurement object distance obtained in the first step, the reference measurement object distance having been obtained by measuring the measurement object distance while the actuator was given an arbitrary command value.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an adjustable load transmitter for adjusting an alignment between planar members separated from each other by a gap. The load transmitter comprises a set of plates to be received inside the gap, the set comprising two rotatable plates and being adapted for transmitting a load via a load transmission path between the planar members. The load transmission path comprises the rotatable plates. Each of the plates comprises two flat, non-parallel contact faces, and one of the contact faces of the first rotatable plate is in permanent surface contact with one of the contact faces of the second rotatable plate. The rotatable plates are adapted for being rotated relative to each other around one of their respective normal axes.
