ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method therefor for automated and/or robotic assembly, the apparatus including a vacuum nozzle (201) capable of aspirating and securing a component (202, 204). A spring (312) mechanically coupled to the vacuum nozzle (201) provides a compression force thereto in a direction of a placing operation (214, 216). A controllable actuator (108, 314) is mechanically coupled to the spring (312) for adjusting the compression force that the spring (312) can apply to the vacuum nozzle (201) for adjusting a placing force that is applied to the component (202, 204) in the direction of the placing operation (214, 216).
