Abstract

A docking system may repeatedly dock a movable sensor module relative to another module with high precision. The docking system may move with minimal constraints and several degrees of freedom. The docking system may be particularly useful for precisely locating a movable sensor module relative to another module, such as a full width array sensor relative to a photoreceptor module within an image forming apparatus. A high degree of freedom may be achieved through use of a series of at least three spherical bearing connections that enable freedom of movement about X, Y and Z axes.
