ABSTRACT:
An assembly station that loads heads onto a disk of a hard disk drive and allows a crash stop to be mounted to the drive unit. The assembly station includes a load arm positioner which can slide along an annular ring. Mounted to the load arm positioner is a scissor assembly tool which can engage and separate the actuator arms. The load arm positioner can be moved about the annular ring so that the scissors engage the actuator arms and load the heads onto the disk. The pivot point of the actuator arms is located at the center of the annular ring so that there is no relative movement between the scissor tool and the actuator arms when the heads are loaded onto the disk.
