Abstract
Determination of a mass in the LNE Kibble balance experiment requires, among other things, a precise control and knowledge of position and spatial orientation of its major comparator force element : the beam. This paper presents, with simple geometric assumptions, our automated method to determine, in vacuum, and without any additional device, the ideal beam setpoint position to use during weighing phase.
