ABSTRACT:
A vertical autoloader capable of handling a variety of different size cassettes without the use of pallets, which includes a separator mechanism and an indexer mechanism. The separator mechanism has a plurality of partitions that define a plurality of slots, and the indexer mechanism has a plurality of partitions that define a plurality of slots corresponding to the slots defined by the partitions of the separator mechanism. An indexer drive mechanism moves the indexer mechanism with respect to a home position of the separator mechanism, wherein the slots defined by the partitions of the indexer mechanism are moved by one position with respect to the slots defined by the partitions of the separator mechanism. A separator drive mechanism moves the separator mechanism with respect to a home position of the indexer mechanism, wherein bottom surfaces of the slots defined by the partitions of the separator mechanism are located in a different plane than a plane in which the bottom surface of the slots defined by the partitions of the indexer mechanism are located.
