An apparatus including a base, a linkage extending along a second axis and
pivotally connected to the base for pivotal movement about a first axis
perpendicular to the second axis, a leg having a first end pivotally
connected to the linkage for pivotal movement about the second axis, and
a frame secured to a second end of the leg. A stand extends from the
base, and a first slide is secured to a distal end of the stand for
pivotal movement with respect to the distal end of the stand. A first
guide is supported by the first slide for movement with respect to the
first slide, and a second slide is secured to an end of the first guide.
A second guide is pivotally connected to the frame and supported by the
second slide for movement with respect to the second slide. The frame can
be used to support a plating mask and is movable along a surface of an
imaginary sphere having a center located at the intersection of the first
and the second axes.
