Alignment Cubes
Precision mirrors usually refer to optical lenses used for precision measurement and detection, and can also be called “cubic mirrors”. These lenses are typically highly precision manufactured with very flat surfaces and are used to reflect, transmit and measure light in optical systems. These lenses may have special coatings, reflective surfaces, or clarity to meet specific application needs.
Cubic mirrors are usually used in high-precision optical systems such as interferometers, interferometry, and laser measurements. Their design and manufacture require a high degree of precision to ensure their surface flatness and optical performance. These lenses play an important role in scientific research, optical measurement and engineering applications.

Testing of Alignment Cubes
In alignment cube inspection, two key processes are critical:
Theodolite Inspection: In the context of alignment cube inspection, theodolites are instrumental in adjusting and confirming the horizontal and vertical positions of the cubes. Correct installation direction is vital as it directly influences the direction of the split beams. Utilizing a theodolite allows operators to finely tune the orientation of the alignment cubes to align with reference axes.
Angle Inspection: During alignment cube inspection, angle measuring devices are used to verify the precision of each surface’s angle on the cubes. This is critical for ensuring the accuracy of reflected and transmitted light beams. By measuring and adjusting the angles of various reflective and transmissive surfaces, alignment cubes can achieve the desired performance in different optical systems.
