Abstract

Apparatus and a method for testing for improper assembly of moving parts features the use of a plurality of vibration sensors placed on predetermined locations of an external surface of a device housing the moving parts. A computing element analyses the sensor outputs to determine whether an assembly error exists, the nature of the error and its location within the device.
