Conclusions
The designed highly sensitive autocollimator with automatic aiming has a reading stability of ±0.01″ and a linearity of ±0.02″ within an automatic aiming range of ±6″.
The system has a response time τ=0.1 sec and a static aiming error less than 0.005″.
To realize the maximum measuring accuracy of which the autocollimator is capable, the instrument must be protected from temperature fluctuations and air currents, and placed on a stable fixed base.
