step S2: the controller 1 calculates a deflection angle α, α is arctan (Δ S/L), where Δ S is a difference between distances from the two laser sensors to the reflection surface, and L is a distance between the two laser sensors;
step S3: if α is equal to 0, the controller 1 controls the linear motion platform 2 to step, and returns to step S1; if α ≠ 0, the controller 1 controls the rotary platform 5 to rotate α, and returns to step S1.
It should be noted that in step S1, the laser sensors 3 corresponding to the same reflecting surface 7 are a group of laser sensors 3, the laser sensors 3 of the same group are mounted in parallel on the same mounting plane, and the number of the laser sensors 3 in each group is at least two.
Referring to fig. 6, two X-axis laser reflectors are disposed on the side of the X-axis platform close to the X-axis reflection surface, and two Y-axis laser reflectors are disposed on the side of the Y-axis platform close to the Y-axis reflection surface.
It should be noted that in step S3, when the controller 1 controls the linear motion platform 2 to step, the controller 1 first converts the working point to be derusted and oiled into coordinates (x, y) in a rectangular plane coordinate system with the two reflecting surfaces 7 as the reference; then, the controller 1 controls the linear motion platform 2 to move along the Y axis and then move X along the X axis, controls the linear motion platform 2 to move along the Y axis and then move Y along the X axis, or controls the linear motion platform 2 to move in a zigzag manner continuously, namely, the linear motion platform moves along the X axis and moves along the Y axis to move delta Y alternately until reaching the (X, Y) point, wherein the delta X and the delta Y are respectively the single stepping stroke of the X axis platform and the single stepping stroke of the Y axis platform.
The specific stepping step of the linear motion platform 2 and the specific deflection step of the rotary platform 5 are related to the structure of the linear motion platform 2, the structure of the rotary platform 5 and the connection mode of the two, and are not described herein again.
