摘要：The present invention relates to a method of securing a fastener having a fastening member and a retaining member, the method comprising providing a magnetic field in the vicinity of an end of said fastening member, sensing said magnetic field using an array of magnetic field sensors positioned in the vicinity of an opposing end of said fastening member, the array of magnetic field sensors being coupled with a retainer fitting means, said retainer fitting means being operable to secure said retaining member to said fastening member, determining responses sensed by said array of magnetic field sensors so as to determine the displacement between the fastening member and the retainer fitting means, moving the array and/or the retainer fitting means to a position in which the displacement is minimum, and securing said retaining member to the fastening member.
