Abstract
A compact spindle assembly for surface mounting and insertion of electrical components comprises a unitary casing in which electric rotary and linear displacement motors are housed in order to provide for actuation of a vacuum nozzle and easily interchangeable tool assemblies such that components may be picked from a supply, squared and/or centered during transfer to a placement station, and placed at a particular position on a circuit board or the like.
