Method and apparatus for installing a support member to support a flexible element, such as a shipping comb used to support a flexible suspension assembly of a head-stack assembly (HSA). A robotic end effector configured to insert the support member to bias the flexible element. Prior to said insertion, an inspection assembly verifies at least one physical parameter of the member while the member is supported by the end effector. One or more computerized video images along at least one axis are preferably obtained by the inspection assembly, and machine readable code on the member is preferably decoded from said image(s). The end effector preferably includes a pair of opposing gripper fingers which engage the support member with variable compressive force during insertion. A cleaning assembly preferably cleans the support member prior to insertion, and a subsequent video image is preferably obtained after insertion to verify installation of the member.

Method and apparatus for mating a base deck to an assembly nest are disclosed. The method incorporates use of an alignment post supported by a visco-elastic damping material and a cam controlled mechanical finger, each precluding exposure of excessive mechanical shock impacting a base deck during alignment and positioning of the base deck within an assembly nest. The method further incorporates use of a lift deck supported by a gimbal bearing mechanism. The gimbal bearing mechanism provides attitude compliance adjustment between a base deck datum surface, and a corresponding assembly nest datum surface. Attitude compliance adjustment is promoted by a gimbaling of the lift deck about a centralized spherical bearing of the gimbal bearing mechanism, which occurs subsequent to the alignment and positioning of the base deck in respective said first and second directions and during engagement of the base deck with the assembly nest.

Method and apparatus for performing a leak rate test on a device under test (DUT), such as a data storage device housing. A flow meter determines a flow rate for a flow of pressurized fluid. A conduit provides a first portion of the fluid from the flow meter to the DUT, and a bleed orifice removes a second portion of the fluid from the conduit at a selected removal rate. A leak rate for the DUT is obtained in relation to the determined flow rate and the selected removal rate. The bleed orifice raises the determined flow rate through the flow meter to a mid-range value, allowing quick and efficient flow rate testing including for relatively low specified leak rates. A regulator establishes the flow of pressurized fluid and preferably utilizes a variable orifice size to reduce flow oscillations in the pressurized fluid.
