Abstract
A bidirectional lens pressing system for use in pressing a lens into a port housing is disclosed. The lens pressing system includes a frame that supports a top motor stage, a bottom motor stage, and an indexing stage. The indexing stage is interposed between the top and bottom motor stages and includes a hole that retains a port housing or other component. The top pressing tool is selectively movable in a first direction by the top motor stage and includes a first engagement surface for engaging the lens. Correspondingly, the bottom pressing tool is selectively movable in a an opposing second direction by the bottom motor stage and includes a second engagement surface for engaging the port housing. The first and second engagement surfaces of the top and bottom pressing tools cooperate to press the lens into the port housing while imposing no net force on the indexing stage.
