The light emitted from a focal position-detecting light source 38 and
reflected from a reflector 12 is projected onto a screen 341, and a
projected image on the screen 341 is detected by a focal
position-detecting camera 35. Based on this projected image, the focal
position-detecting light source 38 is moved by a position adjusting
system 37 so as to place the focal position-detecting light source 38 at
a focal position of the reflector 12, and the position of the focal
position-detecting light source 38 at this time is detected as the focal
position of the reflector 12. When the focal position of the reflector 12
is detected, the projected image on the screen 341 detected by the focal
position-detecting camera 35 is used, and, therefore, the conventional
measurement by a three dimensional measuring instrument is made
unnecessary, thereby improving the working efficiency.
