Abstract: A method and apparatus for aligning a device with a contactor is provided. The apparatus includes a pick and place device, for transporting the device. A first camera acquires an image of the device relative to device holder fiducials of the pick and place device. A second camera detects the location of the contactor relative to fiducials positioned on an alignment frame plate. A third camera to image frame and device holder fiducials to correlate the first and second camera coordinates. Given a processor determines the alignment difference between the device and the contactor. A plurality of actuators align the device with the contactor.

Abstract: A vision alignment system and method is provided. The vision alignment system includes one or more grouped alignment plates with guiding inserts configured to receive multiple devices, and groups of three actuators, configured to actuate the alignment plates to correct the position offsets of multiple devices as a group.
