Abstract
In a method for assembling, a component is critically positioned on a larger body, such as a camera. The component is joined to a predetermined attachment area of a support sheet. The support sheet is floated into alignment with a labeler head. The labeler head is positioned in alignment with a predetermined location on the body. The body is contacted with the support sheet and the component while maintaining the alignments. A camera can be maintained light-tight during the joining, floating, positioning, and contacting steps.
