ABSTRACT:
A tape loading apparatus and method comprising a supply conveyor for automatically transporting empty cassettes from a reel magazine to a plurality of independently operating loading modules wherein each module comprises at least one support hub for rotatably supporting at least one reel of use tape and a loading station designed to engage individual cassettes. Pancakes are mounted on the support hub of each module by a manipulating unit which automatically removes the out of tape pancakes from the single hubs and replaces them with new pancakes which fill individual cassettes with a predetermined amount of use tape. The manipulating unit guides the tape through a predetermined path using search and setup devices which find and thread the end of the use tape.
