An apparatus and method performing a sequence of processing steps on a
load supported by a processing plate. The load can include a single sheet
on which a plurality of applications are performed or can include a
plurality of panels on which respective applications are performed. For
each application, at least one coarse target and at least one panel
target are used to adjust the programmed coordinates for that
application. After the first application of the load is processed using
the coarse and panel targets, coarse and panel targets are located for
the second application. Using the alignment provided by these targets,
the second application is processed. Each subsequent application is
similarly aligned and processed.
