<p>An apparatus and method for determining and adjusting the static attitude of a head suspension or a head suspension assembly for use in a dynamic storage device. An apparatus in accordance with the present invention generally includes a workpiece support for supporting and positioning a head suspension and an adjust device. A method in accordance with the present invention generally includes determining the static attitude of the slider mounting tongue or a slider mounted thereto. Additionally, the method preferably includes controllably deforming an individual gimbal arm of the flexure independently from another gimbal arm of the flexure to introduce a permanent deformation of the gimbal arm thereby adjusting the static attitude of the slider mounting tongue or slider if present. An additional aspect of the present invention is directed to an optical measurement device for determining the planar orientation of a surface such as a surface of a head suspension or a head suspension assembly.</p> |
