Abstract
The problem of re-establishment of initial precision registration of end-effectors used in automatic robotic assembly following failed insertion attempts is avoided due to a positive registration compliant apparatus having a support member including a bearing mount spaced apart from a shaped seat. A holder for holding and mounting electronic components is movably mounted on the support member and extends through the bearing mount. The holder has a portion correspondingly shaped for mating engagement with the shaped seat. The holder is resiliently urged into engagement with the seat. A rotation limiter is provided for limiting rotation of the holder relative to the support.
