Abstract: A circuit assembly device (200) comprises a cylinder (202) containing a piston (204) coupled to an end-effector for facilitating an assembly of a circuit carrying substrate. The piston (204) defines a first chamber (212) and a second chamber (214) in the cylinder (202) for maintaining substantially the same pressure such that a difference in areas of the first and second chambers (212, 214) establishes a compliant force on the end-effector.
