Apparatus, systems, and methods for automated part installation
Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and methods for placing a part may automatically self-align the part relative to a target along multiple axes of movement, such as along the width of the part, and normal to one or more target surfaces of the target. Devices may include one or more installation heads each having a respective retaining portion configured to selectively support and retain the part in association with the respective installation head as the device moves the part from a first location located apart from the target, towards the target. The installation head may be configured to automatically align the part with the target, in response to engagement between one or more part surfaces of the part and one or more target surfaces of the target. The retaining portion may be configured to selectively release the part once the part is automatically aligned with and operatively at the target.
