Abstract: Provided herein is an apparatus including a loader configured to position a workpiece in a holding fixture. In some embodiments, the holding fixture includes an opening configured to removably receive the workpiece therein and hold the workpiece in a target position within the opening. The apparatus also includes position detecting means configured to translate a sensor to a predetermined location relative to the holding fixture and further configured to translate the workpiece by a predetermined increment relative to the predetermined location to position the workpiece in the target position.

Abstract: A method includes moving a sensor and an article at a first speed to position the sensor into a reference position relative to an article fixture. The sensor and the article are moved at a second speed as the sensor approaches the reference position. It is determined when the sensor is in the reference position, wherein the sensor is configured to be in the reference position when a contact is established between the sensor and a surface of the article fixture. The article is moved by a predetermined increment relative to the reference position to position the article in a target position in response to determining that the sensor is in the reference position.
