The blind search algorithm, on the basis of optimization strategy, can deal with exceptional situations by means of adaptive process, thus the uncertainty of blind search is eliminated and coarse alignment process is shortened. The pattern search method in fine alignment process can adjust misalignments on multiple axial directions simultaneously. Due to this advantage, the fine alignment process is shortened with little effects caused by noises and inter-coupling among axes on alignment automation. Experimental results demonstrate that both the alignment speed and global convergence of the proposed pattern search method are better than those of traditional hill-climbing algorithm. The cycle time for pattern search for xyz three-degree freedom alignment automation is 30~50s, and the success probability for locating optimal coupling position is better than 80%. Ke
