Question: Triangulation computations are to be used to determine the distance of parts moving on a conveyor. The setup of the optical measuring apparatus is as illustrated in the text in Figure. The angle between the beam and the surface of the part is 25°. Suppose for one given part passing on the conveyor the baseline distance is 6.55 in, as measured by the linear photosensitive detection system. What is the distance of this part from the baseline?
