ABSTRACT:
The described cassette loading apparatus and method comprises a plurality of loading modules disposed consecutively in side-by-side relation and each provided with a loading station designed to engage individual cassettes and fill them with a predetermined amount of use tape taken from a respective pancake mounted on a support hub. A manipulating unit moving at the upper part of the machine removes the out of tape pancakes form the single hubs and replace them with new pancakes filled with use tape taken from a storage unit located laterally in side by side relation with the loading modules. Search and setup devices associated with the manipulating unit are designed to find and pick up the end of the use tape on a new pancake mounted to the hub and guide it in a predetermined path as far as it is operatively engaged in the corresponding loading station.
