Abstract

See full text

A fret press system can install one or more frets in grooves of a substrate with a press connected to a caul. The fret may be positioned atop the groove prior to contacting the fret with a caul by operating the press. The fret may initially be forced into the groove with the caul with a first pressure before an incorrect fret position in the groove is detected with a sensor connected to the press. The caul can then be adjusting to correct the sensed incorrect fret position and subsequently used to finish installing the fret in the groove prior to a position of the fret in the groove being confirmed with the sensor.
