ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for assembling parts in a specified order to steps into a desired device where the parts are located in a plurality of material supply positions comprising a fixed base plate having a plurality of openings transparent to light therein, a plurality of assembly positions, an adapter plate positioned parallel to the base plate having a plurality of openings therein congruent with the openings in the base plate, a light source movably attached to the base plate for selectively shining through the openings in the base plate and the adapter plate, glass fiber optics for transmitting light from the light source to the assembly positions and the material supply positions which include a plurality of fittings secured in the openings of the base plate and the adapter plate, and glass fiber optic conduits extending between the selected fittings and the assembly positions and the material supply positions, and a mechanism for sequentially moving the light source from opening to opening. The specified order of steps of assembly at the assembly positions and the appropriate material supply positions to each step are successively indicated by the light source being sequentially moved past the openings of the base plate and adapter plate shining light therethrough. The light travels through the selected portions of the glass fiber optics to the assembly positions and the material supply positions. Various details of the subassemblies of the apparatus are disclosed, as well as certain improvements in fittings for glass fiber optics.
