Patent ID: 8029637

Claim:
A method of assembling hard disk drive components, comprising: (a) positioning an actuator comb adjacent to an integrated lead suspension (ILS); (b) applying a plurality of adhesive drops in a pattern to the actuator comb and ILS such that the adhesive drops extend between the actuator comb and ILS to form an assembly; (c) providing light from a light source and directing the light through a light guide having an outlet end for emitting light conveyed through the light guide; and (d) passing the emitted light from the outlet end of the light guide through a lens assembly comprising a collimating lens and a pair of cylindrical lenses, the lens assembly being located between the outlet end of the light guide and the assembly for collimating the emitted light and forming a rectangular light beam that is contoured to the shape of the pattern of adhesive drops to cure the adhesive drops and form a bond between the actuator comb and the ILS.
