Abstract
An adjustable positioning target assembly for use in a positioning device includes a target member that is secured in a desired position in an internally threaded bore between a pair of set screws. The internally threaded bore is provided in body of a positioning device. Proximity sensors which respond to the target member are coupled to an element of the positioning device. The body and element of the positioning device are movable with respect to one another. The target member and set screws can include through-holes which allow the target member and set screws to be adjustably positioned in the internally threaded bore by a driver tool. The adjustable positioning target assembly can be used in cooperation with gripper jaws or other positioning devices.
