Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for aligning a plurality of rollers in a metal or metal alloy foil production line. The alignment system comprises a reference frame having a longitudinal dimension parallel to the direction of foil travel through the production line and an optical alignment system movably mounted to the frame. The optical alignment system comprises a laser beam generator, beam splitters and a mirror for generating an orthogonal reference frame for aligning each foil contacting roller in the production line.
