DEVICE FOR TRANSPORTING MAGNETIC HEAD, DEVICE FOR INSPECTING MAGNETIC HEAD, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MAGNETIC HEAD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To freely change a posture of a thin film magnetic head when transporting a row bar-shaped thin film magnetic head.SOLUTION: The transporting device for transporting a slender rectangular plate-like row bar-shaped magnetic head cut from a wafer is capable of performing vertical installation and horizontal installation. The transporting device for transporting a slender rectangular plate-like row bar-shaped magnetic head is capable of performing the vertical installation and horizontal installation, and changing the posture of the magnetic head from vertical installation into horizontal installation and from horizontal installation into vertical installation when transporting the magnetic head between processes. The transporting device is capable of performing slantwise installation in a slantwise state between the vertical installation and the horizontal installation. Therefore, with respect to a tray vertically or horizontally installed when transporting the magnetic head between processes, the row bar-shaped thin film magnetic head can be transported easily.
