Abstract

A method for implementing a component positioning device is provided and includes obtaining a component, a component measuring device and a component positioning device, the component including a component head and a component base, the component measuring device including a first arbor and a second arbor and the component positioning device including a first support device, a second support device and an adapter device, connecting the first support device and the adapter device to the component measuring device, wherein the first support device is associated with the first arbor and the adapter device is associated with the second arbor, associating the second support device with the adapter device, wherein the second support device is adjacent to and separated from the first support device by a component cavity and positioning the component within the component cavity.

Claims (12)

1. A method for implementing a component positioning device, comprising:

obtaining a component, a component measuring device and a component positioning device, said component including a component head and a component base, said component measuring device including a first arbor and a second arbor and said component positioning device including a first support device, a second support device and an adapter device;

connecting said first support device and said adapter device to said component measuring device, wherein said first support device is associated with said first arbor and said adapter device is associated with said second arbor;

associating said second support device with said adapter device, wherein said second support device is adjacent to and separated from said first support device by a component cavity; and

positioning said component within said component cavity such that said component head is associated with one of said first support device and said second support device and said component base is associated with the other of said first support device and said second support device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said connecting includes connecting said first support device to said first arbor using a threaded mounting screw.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said connecting includes connecting said adapter to said second arbor using a threaded mounted screw.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said adapter device includes an adapter device cavity and wherein said associating includes disposing said second support device within said adapter device cavity.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said adapter device includes at least one adapter notch cavity and said second support device includes at least one protruding stabilizing member.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said associating includes disposing said second support device within said adapter device cavity so that said at least one protruding stabilizing member is disposed within said at least one adapter notch cavity.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first support device includes a first component cradle and wherein said positioning includes associating said component head with said first component cradle.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said second support device includes a second component cradle and wherein said positioning includes associating said component base with said second component cradle.
