Abstract
A cartridge engaging assembly for a cartridge handing system is disclosed. The assembly may include a cartridge engaging device positioned within each of the cartridge storage locations in a cartridge storage array. An actuator device may be included which is adapted to engage the cartridge engaging device in order to push a cartridge out of a storage location during a push operating mode or pull a cartridge into a storage location during a pull operating mode. An actuator drive assembly may be operably connected to the actuator device in order to linearly translate the actuator to device in a lateral direction. A linear translation assembly may be provided in order to linearly translate the read/write drive, actuator drive assembly, and actuator device among the storage locations in the cartridge storage array. A method for transporting a cartridge between a storage location and a read/write drive utilizing the cartridge engaging assembly is also disclosed.
