ABSTRACT:
Various apparatus and methods are provided for handling and transporting pairs of gap merge disks. A transfer member is provided in one embodiment which engages the outer perimeter of a pair of disks at three locations. The transfer member is configured to induce an angled tilt to the respective disks such that the bottom perimeter edges of the disks are spaced apart and the top perimeter edges of the disks are in contact. A mandrel is also provided which is configured to engage a pair of disks oriented in this fashion at the center aperture for purposes of transferring the pair of disks from the transport device to a second location for processing or transfer to another processing device.
