A method for forming an assembly of a plurality of components. The method includes receiving, by a controller, one or more assembly identification parameters and controlling, by the controller, a light array disposed along an assembly jig based on the one or more assembly identification parameters.

A tool for identifying a correct belt for a system of pulleys from a plurality of prefabricated belts having different lengths is disclosed. The tool may include a belt track attached to a first end portion of a measurement belt. The measurement belt may be wrapped around the system of pulleys. An opposed second end portion of the measurement belt may be disposed adjacent to the belt track which may include a reference indicator. The reference indicator will be aligned to one of a plurality of measurement markings on the second end portion which indicates the correct belt to order from among the plurality of prefabricated belts.

A tape clip apparatus for resiliently and removably installing on a measuring tape, includes a main body portion hingedly connected to an engaging portion. The engaging portion is sized to substantially overlay the main body portion. The main body portion has a window including an indicator, and at least one leg having an engaging panel. The engaging portion includes a triangular cut-out tab which is aligned with the indicator in the window in the main body portion. The engaging portion also includes a cradle for holding the measuring tape, and a resilient clip for engaging the engaging panel. The cradle holds the measuring tape such that the measuring tape is visible through the window, and the triangular cut-out tab extends away from the main body portion and the engaging portion when they are folded together.

A tape measure attachment system including a finger guard assembly for protecting a user from injury is disclosed. When taking measurements on surfaces it is possible to become injured because of a splinter or cut from the surface. The tape measure attachment system prevents such injuries to occur. The tape measure attachment system is mounted to a tape measure blade through a measuring blade slot created by an attachment left side and an attachment right side. These two sides make it possible to take accurate measurements without having to touch the working surface that may possibly cause injury. There is also an overhang that extends towards a user in order to allow the user to glide the tape measure blade along the working surface without having to touch that surface. The tape measure attachment system also includes a pivot point that allows measurements to be taken about a fixed point.

An example distance measuring apparatus is provided. The example apparatus may include a housing having an aperture, a reel assembly, a measuring tape, a touch control, an audio output device, an audio input device, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive a touch control signal and initiate a measurement acquisition session, receive verbal measurement audio data from the audio input device, perform a speech recognition analysis on the verbal measurement audio data to determine measurement data, and store the measurement data in a memory device.
