Abstract:
A method in which the wires from the heads on an actuator arm can be positioned and attached to the arm electronics automatically. A loadspring manufacturing assembly has a pair of wire carrying and positioning tails and a disposable portion. The disposable portion and the wire carrying and positioning tails each have pegs for controlling the position of the wire and for allowing twisting of the wire pairs for purposes of noise suppression. The wires are positioned about the pegs and twisted. The wires are then bonded to the loadspring assembly. A portion of the wire carrying tail has a window or opening therein. The wires are fanned out and spaced apart as they pass across the window. The wire carrying portion also has a living hinge. A portion of the wire carrying tail which includes a latching window which latches a peg is moved about the hinge and positioned at about a right angle to the loadspring.

Abstract:
A vacuum deposition system is shown in the form of a sputtering system for rigid disk substrates which uses a single vacuum envelope and a single transport to avoid multiple pump downs or valved isolation structures during the multiple coating processes or the transfer of workpieces between conveyer devices. Work stations carried by a modular processing unit provide a slotted opening through which work pieces supported on the transport enter and leave the work station and which affords sufficient restriction to enable a processing gas atmosphere to be maintained within the work station that is above the pressure of the vacuum envelope while being isolated from the adjoining work stations. The work stations are supported on and readily releasable from the modular processing units to allow service and target replacement to occur offline. The work station process steps that are of longest duration are partitioned to be performed at multiple successive work stations to make work station processing times as equal as possible and enhance system throughput.
