ABSTRACT:
A system for loading a plurality of cylindrical members, initially oriented to longitudinally extend in a first direction, into a processing module adapted to receive the plurality of cylindrical members longitudinally extending in a second direction, is disclosed. The system is particularly adapted for use in a rotary atomization manufacturing system for manufacturing photoreceptors from the cylindrical member in the form of substrate members. The system includes a first support structure for receiving and retaining removably thereon the plurality of cylindrical members oriented to longitudinally extend in the first direction. The system transfers the plurality of cylindrical members, longitudinally extending in the first direction, to the first support structure. The system includes a second support structure for receiving and retaining removably thereon the plurality of cylindrical members oriented to longitudinally extend in the second direction. The system moves the first support structure from the first position to a second position, the first support structure in the first position orienting the plurality of cylindrical members to longitudinally extend in the first direction, the first support structure in the second position orienting the plurality of cylindrical members to longitudinally extend in the second direction, transverse to the first direction, in alignment with the second support structure. The system transfers substantially simultaneously the plurality of cylindrical members from the first support structure to the second support structure. The system transfers substantially simultaneously the plurality of cylindrical members from the second support structure to the processing module.
