One of the most significant factor affecting the image quality of optical systems is decentering of optical surfaces and lenses as a whole, which inevitably occurs when machining and installing optical lens components in the frame. For that reason, error determination in the process of centering is a vital step in the optical systems manufacture. At the present time, it is necessary to develop domestic automation equipment for high-precision measurement of centering errors. The purpose of this work was to adapt the algorithm to determine the coordinates of the energy center of the autocollimating point image for working with the digital autocollimator. The automation of the decentring measurement process will significantly increase the accuracy and control of its performance, which will make it possible to clearly display the monitoring results for further analysis.
