Abstract
An apparatus for optically detecting the offset of the pick up of a component having an irregular shape relative to a pick-up device so as to calculate the amount of offset for accurately positioning the component. The system uses an optical measuring system that is capable of making the calculations from certain forms of regular shapes. The component has different sections with different shapes one of which is regular and the apparatus is constructed so as to insure that the proper area of the component will be measured.
