Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2815677A1] The passive alignment method has a first (2) and second (8) component support section with holes (6,7) formed in the first section and opposite holes (11,12) in the opposite section. Balls (14,16) are placed in the two holes in one section and the second holes aligned. The size of the balls is set to provide a given angle between the two component parts.
