ABSTRACT:
A system for affixing a device to a workpiece comprises a dynamic fastener applicator for imparting motion to a fastener with respect to the workpiece by urging the fastener along a path so that the fastener piercingly encounters the workpiece and fixedly engages the device with the workpiece. The system includes a static fastener applicator for effecting clasping engagement of the workpiece and the device by the fastener by a deflecting structure located in the path traveled by the driven fastener which orients the fastener to a clasping configuration for establishing the desired clasping engagement. The system further comprises a positioning apparatus for precisely establishing desired relative positions of the workpiece, the dynamic fastener applicator, the static fastener applicator, and the device for the desired clasping engagement. The positioning apparatus includes a plurality of pins and a plurality of pin-positioning structures which cooperate to laterally situate the dynamic fastener applicator, the device, and the deflecting structure for appropriately effecting the desired clasping engagement.
