Abstract:
1. A method of juxtaposing components in an assembly process comprising the steps of: forming a computer model of a mounting component to be mounted at a target location on a mounting surface of a base component; providing a system including a computer, a camera, and a display device; providing a base component and a mounting component; determining the position and viewing direction of the camera relative to the base component; displaying a live image on the display device of the base component as viewed by the camera; displaying on the display device a mounting component target image generated by the computer of the mounting component mounted at the target location on the mounting surface superimposed over the live image of the base component; and moving the mounting component relative to the base component such that a live image of the mounting component as viewed by the camera coincides with the mounting component target image.
