SuperLoader Magazine Installation and Configuration Quick Start Guide
Appendix A: Remove/Reinstall a
Magazine Blank
In default configuration, a magazine blank is installed in the
right magazine bay when the SuperLoader is ordered with a 8-
tape cartridge capacity. This blank must be removed to upgrade
the SuperLoader to a 16-tape cartridge capacity. This is explained
in the preceding steps of this Quick Start Guide.
This appendix contains information about removing, installing,
and changing the orientation of the magazine blank.
Caution: When removing magazines or blanks, be
certain that no robotic operations are in process.
Failure to do so will stop the robot.
Removing the Magazine Blank. The magazine blank is not
held in place like the magazine is. To remove it, simply pull
the magazine blank out by the handle with one hand while
supporting the blank from underneath with the other hand.
Reinstalling the Magazine Blank. To reinstall the magazine
blank, make sure you have the blank in the proper orientation
for the bay. Then, while holding the blank by the handle with
one hand and supporting it underneath with the other hand,
slide it into the bay until it stops.
Changing the Orientation of the Magazine Blank. Under
normal circumstances, the magazine blank should always
be installed in the right bay. If for some reason, a magazine
blank needs to be installed in the left bay, you can change the
orientation of the blank by following these steps:
(1) Remove the two screws that secure the handle to the
front of the magazine blank.
(2) Remove the handle carefully; take care not to break the
hinge on the handle.
(3) Rotate the handle 180 degrees so the top of the handle
is now on the bottom and the bottom of the handle is on
the top.
(4) Snap the handle back on the front of the magazine
blank.
Note: There is no need to rotate the blank.
(5) Install the two screws to secure the handle to the
magazine blank.
