ABSTRACT:
This invention provides for a method and apparatus for assembly of complex systems by human operators with the assistance of automatic machinery. The machinery employes a lighted probe to direct the operator to insert a part of the lighted location and the machinery tests for proper seating of the part. The machinery is integrated into a larger automated system which enhances its automatic part location indicating function by allowing and correcting for mislocation of real world coordinates from ideal coordinates. Also taught is a method for integration fo the assembly operation from the design stage through the production phase.
