ABSTRACT:
A head disc merge assembly for merging an actuator with a disc stack having a disc, the actuator assembly having a flexure supporting a data transducer head, the head disc merge assembly including a merge comb having a flexure support member to support the flexure away from the disc while positioning the data transducer bead on the disc. A merge comb inspection station is provided having a body with a certification slot. The merge comb is moved into engagement with the certification slot, and successful passage there through indicates that the merge comb has an acceptable clearance condition for continued use at the merge station, while an unsuccessful passage through the certification slot indicates that the merge comb has an unacceptable non-clearance condition, and the electrical continuity check circuit is activated to stop the merge station for replacement of the merge comb.
