ABSTRACT:
A miniaturized library device is provided. The library device employs small-sized magazine having no flag used to detect positions of cells and the magazine is set so that a plurality of cells are arranged in one direction. An accessor mechanism having a picker mechanism to extract a cartridge from an arbitrary cell in the magazine is so mounted as to be movable along a guide rail and is positioned to a position of each of flags, which are arranged to correspond to positions of the cells in the magazine, and of a sensor flag section in a pendulum mechanism. The flags and a sensor flag section each are detected by a common X position sensor fixed to a base. Detection of presence or absence of the magazine is performed by detecting a position of the sensor flag section being displaced due to direct contact of a directly-contacted portion to the magazine.
