Figure 1-2 on page 1-3

shows the robot components. The robot is a mechanism that

moves cartridges between storage cells, CTUs, tape drives, CAP, or CEM. The robot
consists of the Z column assembly, hand, and camera assembly.

The Z column assembly contains a Z column, theta motor, and Z carriage. The
Z column attaches to the floor and ceiling of the LSM. The theta motor rotates
the Z carriage to allow access to all of the cells in the LSM.

The hand consists of a reach mechanism and gripper assembly that mount and
dismount the cartridge tapes. The hand attaches to the Z carriage which moves
the hand vertically along the Z column.
