<p>An ergonomic loading assembly (100) for an I/O port onto which a bare cassette may be easily loaded and unloaded isolates the operator and the I/O port after loading of a cassette to minimize safety risks and to minimize the amount of particulates and contaminants around the workpieces while on the port. The loading assembly (100) includes a cover assembly having a stationary cover section around the port plate (102), and two pivoting cover sections (112, 114) which open and close like jaws to allow a cassette to position within the cover assembly when opened and which enclose the cassette within the cover assembly when closed. The loading assembly further includes a pivoting deck (122) onto which the cassette is loaded when the pivoting cover sections are open. As the pivoting cover sections are closed, the pivoting deck rotates the cassette and seats the cassette on the port door of the port with the workpieces positioned in a horizontal orientation.</p> |
