ABSTRACT:
A high speed orientation apparatus for disk-shaped objects includes upper and lower turntables operated to provide constant angular orientation of the disk-shaped objects. An automatic supply delivers disk-shaped objects to one of a plurality of disk receiving stations located on the upper turntable. The upper turntable and the lower turntable, which also includes disk receiving stations, are attached to a rotating drive with the disk receiving stations of the lower table directly underneath the disk receiving stations of the upper table. Both the upper and lower turntables are rotated at the same speed. The plurality of disk receiving stations include operable disk retainers for holding and releasing a disk-shaped object. An inspection and control device adjacent to the upper turntable determines by inspection the angular orientation of each of the disk-shaped objects and controls each of the operable disk retainers so that the disks-shaped objects are rotated to a predetermined angular orientation by the upper turntable and transferred to the lower turntable. The disk receiving stations of the lower turntable are maintained at a constant angular orientation.
