  • Laser targeting mechanism
    Patent number: 8471587
    Abstract: An automated test equipment system includes a peripheral including first mechanical alignment features; a test head including second mechanical alignment features arranged in a pattern corresponding to the first mechanical alignment features and configured to engage the first mechanical alignment features. The automated test equipment system also includes a laser assisted alignment system including laser devices mounted to the peripheral and operable to emit laser beams; target plates mounted to the test head and including target symbols visible on surfaces of the target plates. The target symbols are arranged in a pattern corresponding to the laser devices such that, when laser beams from the laser devices are substantially aligned with the target symbols, the first mechanical alignment features are substantially aligned with the second mechanical alignment features.
    Type: Grant
