ABSTRACT:
The automated magnetic tape drive read/write head module assembly apparatus enables a worker to completely assemble and align the read/write head module in a single step process. A read/write head assembly fixture that securely holds the rectangular-shaped read/write head frame in a fixed position. A read head and write head alignment tool is pivotally attached to the read/write head assembly fixture for magnetically suspending the read head and write head in the rectanglar-shaped opening in the read/write head frame in a predetermined position. A brass shield loader apparatus automatically places a brass shield between the suspended read and write heads. The alignment tool includes an aperture such that the worker can view the transducing gaps on the read head and the write head for alignment purposes. Two sets of threaded rods are included in this assembly apparatus to modify the lateral position of the read head and the write head such that the transducing gaps on these two heads are in exact alignment with respect to each other. Once the alignment process is completed, a leaf spring is inserted between one inner wall of the rectangular-shaped read/write head frame and the read/write heads to maintain the alignment of their transducing gaps.
