In response to the current situation of relying on manual alignment of the optical path in existing velocity interferometer system for any reflector(VISAR) devices, and to meet the future demand for remote automated control, a new method for automatic alignment of the optical path was proposed. The complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) of this method was measured indirectly, and the pixel deviation of the light spot was used as a system input. Coefficient matrix transformation and discrete fuzzy feedback control methods were used to quickly eliminate the errors. Based on the modules such as vision and motion in the Windows control and automation technology(TwinCAT), each of which was run in a different real-time kernel, the communication link between the vision and motion control modules was eliminated, and fast real-time closed-loop control was realized. After the experimental verification of shock wave velocity measurement, the remote "one-button" automatic alignment was realized. The system can shorten the alignment time to 2 s and improve the alignment accuracy to 4.5 μm. The problem of inefficient manual adjustment of the existing device was solved, and the accuracy and stability of the system were improved.
