Abstract:
An assembly includes a carrier device having proximal and distal ends. The carrier device includes a workpiece platform along the proximal end. The workpiece platform supports one or more slider bars. The carrier device attaches to a lapping machine. An adaptive component, including at least one spring, has a first portion that couples to the carrier device and a second portion that couples to a grinding-slicing machine.

Abstract:
A plurality of transducer bars may be concurrently translated from a first orientation to a second orientation by a translation system that has first and second plates. The first plate can have a plurality of first notches with each first notch shaped to hold a transducer bar in a horizontal orientation. The second plate can have a plurality of second notches with each second notch shaped to translate the transducer bar from the horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation.
