Abstract
Systems and method for automatically assembling a multi-fiber optical ferrule. Holes are drilled or etched in a thin, flat substrate. A vacuum gripper and further alignment components are used to provide sufficient lateral alignment for insertion of the optical fibers. The protrusion of each optical fiber is detected on an output side of the substrate, and an adhesive is applied to attach the fibers to the substrate.
