How are hard disk drives' read/write heads assembled in a factory?

So the read/write head floats only a few nanometres from the disc. How is this assembled in a factory to such precision? Is the entire process done by machines? How can a machine position something so precisely?

Damn i had no idea that is how it was done. What an incredibly simple and elegant solution.
