ABSTRACT:
A system for loading a sleeve-like substrate into a processing module is disclosed. The system engages and retains a sleeve-like substrate by utilizing a first load head of a robot. The first load head typically engages and removes the sleeve-like substrate from a conveyor. The first load head transfer the sleeve-like substrate to a processing station module within the system. A second load head of the robot removes the sleeve-like substrate from the processing station module and transfers the module to a movable support structure. The robot provides movement of first or second load heads from a first position to a second position to orient the sleeve-like member in alignment with the support structure. The support structure inserts the sleeve-like substrate into the processing chamber for further processing. The system is particularly adapted for use in a rotary atomization manufacturing system in which a photoreceptor is manufactured by processing the sleeve-like substrate.
