An electronic testing machine that tests electronic components using test contacts is disclosed. A contact takes a plurality of electrical readings for a component retained in a test plate as the test plate is moved in microsteps. These electrical readings can be used to determine alignment and/or to correct alignment as necessary using an adjustment mechanism.

Automated contact alignment tool

A method for determining the alignment of a plurality of contacts in an electronic testing machine is disclosed. The contacts are swept over an electronic component taking a plurality of electrical readings. These electrical readings are charted against a desired orientation to determine alignment. Alignment can be corrected as necessary using an adjustment mechanism.
