  • Patent number: 10416408
    Abstract: A projector assembling equipment includes a holder and at least one multi-axial adjusting device. The lens module or the light source module is disposed on the holder. The multi-axial adjusting device is connected with the holder to move the holder relative to a reference plane, and the reference plane is used to put the lens module or the light source module which is not held by the holder. The multi-axial adjusting device includes a three-axis adjusting mechanism, a rotary adjusting mechanism and a tilt adjusting mechanism. The three-axis adjusting mechanism is utilized to shift the holder at a first direction, a second direction and a third direction. The rotary adjusting mechanism is disposed on the three-axis adjusting mechanism to rotate the holder at a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction. The tilt adjusting mechanism is disposed on the three-axis adjusting mechanism to recline the holder relative to the reference plane.
