ABSTRACT:
The apparatus and method for assembling magnetic tape drive read/write head modules of the present invention uses an assembly fixture that enables a worker to completely assemble and align the read/write head module in a single step process. This is accomplished by providing an 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 assembly fixture for magnetically suspending the read head and write head in the rectangular shaped opening in the read/write head frame in a predetermined position. This 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 and the read and write heads are adhesively secured to each other to maintain the alignment of their transducing gaps.
