Autocollimators are precision optical instruments used in aerospace manufacturing to measure small angular deviations, flatness, squareness, and parallelism of machined surfaces, structural assemblies, and optical benches by projecting and receiving a collimated beam of light reflected from a target mirror, with modern variants employing CCD or CMOS detectors and digital signal processing for sub-arcsecond angular resolution.
