Abstract
An alignment system for a scanning camera and illumination source includes a tape having a plurality of fiducials arranged systematically in opposition about a common center line. The camera is supported on a gimbaled platform for adjusting roll, pitch and yaw to bisect the tape fiducials with the camera scan line. The tape is mounted by holders received in datum definition hardware to insure intimate contact with a product surface. The holders facilitate adjustment of the tape fiducials relative to the machine center line in a surface inspection system such as a web scanner. Position indicating gauges facilitate alignment of an illumination source to the same center line.
