<p>PURPOSE:To miniaturize an auto-changer as well as to aim at the secureness of housing capacity, by constituting a hand mechanism holding a cartridge so as to rotate it upward after being once descended at the time of taking out it from more than a specific step, in case of the hand mechanism type auto-changer. CONSTITUTION:When each cartridge C on racks Tn-2-Tn from the top of a cartridge housing magazine 20 to the specified step, for example, above the third step, first the cartridge C is held and pulled out by a hand mechanism 29 and then this hand mechanism is rotated upward after making the hand mechanism 29 once go down to a position where the cartridge C at the fourth step Tn-3 or less than it does not interfere with a top plate 1a. And, next, the hand mechanism is made to go up. And, these are set in a program of a control unit (unillustrated herein) whereby automatic control takes place. With this constitution, miniaturization in an auto-changer is attainable.</p> |
