<p>The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for handling a component (70) having a body and one or more members (72) protruding therefrom or recesses therein, such that the protruding members or recesses are put in proper, mating registration with corresponding holes or protrusions of a substrate or the like. The components are handles during transport and insertion by gripping of the bodies thereof, and the method and apparatus of the invention compensates for any offset in X, Y, and θ between the profile of the body and a particular pattern or location of the protruding members or recesses relative to the profile of the body. A gage (90) with recesses (92) or protruding members corresponding to those of the substrate is used to effect alignment between the body protrusion members or recesses and the corresponding recesses or protruding members of the substrate.</p> |
