An apparatus (10) for visually aligning parts (13) for placement using one camera (18) comprises a device (12) for picking and placing a part on an object (15), a device (24, 26 & 28) for moving and removing optics (30, 36, 38) into and out of a work envelope having the object, a device (18, 40, 42 & 44) for locating landmarks on the object within the work envelope, and a device for aligning the part with the landmark in the work envelope.

Method and apparatus for visual alignment of parts

An apparatus (100) for correcting misalignments in a robotic assembling devices has a first shaft (102) having a ferrous material (120) and a second shaft (104) having a magnetic material (122). The first and second shafts (102, 104) are magnetically coupled, and a motion on the first shaft (102) is provided to the second shaft (104) which corrects misalignments between the magnetic coupling (112) of the first and second shafts (102, 104).

Method and apparatus for correcting misalignments in couplings

A circuit assembly device (200) comprises a cylinder (202) containing a piston (204) coupled to an end-effector for facilitating an assembly of a circuit carrying substrate. The piston (204) defines a first chamber (212) and a second chamber (214) in the cylinder (202) for maintaining substantially the same pressure such that a difference in areas of the first and second chambers (212, 214) establishes a compliant force on the end-effector.

Circuit assembly and placement apparatus

A housing (100), that is suitable for use in a automated manufacturing and/or testing environment, is constructed and arranged to substantially enclose and shield a trimmable electrical circuit (107) from radio frequency interference external to the housing (100). At least a portion of the housing (100) is constructed and arranged to shield while contemporaneously allowing a laser beam (114) to pass therethrough so as to focus on at least a portion of the trimmable electrical circuit (107) and thereby laser trim the trimmable electrical circuit (107).
