ABSTRACT:
A method and system are disclosed for providing a hard stop for a robot included within an automated tape cartridge loading/unloading system. The system includes a tape drive having a loader which includes a movable loader tray. The loader tray is moved by a loader motor included within the loader. A determination is made of an insertion of a tape cartridge by the robot into a front of the tape drive. This determination is made utilizing a sensor included within the tape drive. In response to the determination, the tray is continuously held against the front of the tape drive while the tape cartridge is being inserted into the drive by the robot, thus providing a hard stop for the robot once the tape cartridge is completely inserted into the tray.
