A system includes a computing device with circuitry and memory with instructions for execution by the circuitry. The instructions include monitoring signals indicative of a non-uniform distance between a transfer head and a receiving substrate, and, in response to the monitored signals, actuating one or more actuators towards the transfer head or the receiving substrate to deform the transfer head or the receiving substrate.

Micro-component transfer systems, methods, and devices

A method for transferring components from a transfer head to a receiving substrate is disclosed. The method includes monitoring signals indicative of a pitch mismatch between locations on the transfer head and locations on the receiving substrate and actuating at least one actuator based at least in part on the monitored signals to reduce the mismatch of the pitch of the locations on the transfer head and the locations on the receiving substrate.

Micro-component batch transfer systems, methods, and devices

A method of forming a recording head for use with a data storage medium in a data storage device. The method includes forming first and second writers of different target geometries. A first recording measurement is performed on one or more storage media using the first writer. A second recording measurement is performed on the one or more storage media using the second writer. Based on a comparison of the first and second recording measurements to a predetermined quantity, either the first writer or the second writer is selected to be operational in the data storage device.
