Abstract

The present invention provides an assembly system for employing at least a robotic or automated assembly apparatus (20) to manipulate the components to be assembled (16, 18) and at least a first vision alignment system (50) to align the components (16, 18) prior to their assembly. An adhesive dispense system (56) is provided to connect, attach, or otherwise adhere the components together. In a method in accord with the present invention for assembling components, a source of the components is provided is located relative to a global reference system. The components are imaged by a local imaging system (52) to establish their position relative to each other and the second component is moved into a desired attachment position and then moved into engagement with the adhesive and the first component. The adhesive may then be at least partially cured if desired.
