Abstract
This article discusses passive mechanical architectures for accuracy correction during assembly operations. A specific solution for passive force generation with thresholds is presented. Then, the kinematics of several rotational and translational mechanisms is presented. Afterwards, a case study is introduced and the design of a prototype is presented together with some tests performed on a spark plug assembly task.
