Abstract

The present invention relates to an aligning fixture having a support with a reference surface, an aligning member and an actuator. The actuator is mounted to the support and operably coupled to the aligning member. The actuator moves the aligning member selectively to a first position wherein the element to be aligned is spaced apart from the reference surface and to a second position where the element can engage the reference surface.
