ABSTRACT:
An automated system for setting the linear distance from a mounting surface of a pivot cartridge to critical features on actuator arms is disclosed. This distance is set to eliminate the tolerance incurred via normal manufacturing of these components. The system adjusts for every component to customize each actuator and/or pivot assembly to meet the functionality requirements for disk drives.
