Introduction 3
The elevator contains all automation elements including the hoist and
the disc transport arm.
The hoist is part of the elevator and raises/lowers the arm.
The arm contains a disc gripper mechanism which holds discs during
transport. The arm can rotate to reach all disc positions (spindles, disc
writer drives and printer).
The drive enclosure holds the disc writers and acts as a platform for the
printer.
The disc writers are the drives that write to blank discs. The exact
number of writers installed (from 1 to 4) depends on your particular
system. Writers can be CD-R, DVD-R, or a mix.
The PC module contains the entire PC including disc readers, hard disk
and power supply.
The disc readers read master discs to be duplicated and other tasks.
Typically, one reader will be a CD-ROM reader and the other will be a
DVD-ROM drive.
The disc spindles hold discs in various stages of processing. There are
four full height spindles for holding blank and completed discs, and one
shorter reject spindle. All spindles can be lifed off and on for easy disc
handling.
