A head stack assembly installation system with a frame supporting a head stack
installation tool including a robotic assembly supporting a measurement assembly
communicating with a computer hosting an installation software program. The robotic
assembly picks and places the head stack assembly into the head disc assembly and
the measurement assembly collects and communicates process positions and force
parameters to the computer, the computer calculating distance and force data. The
installation software program directs and controls enactment of process steps followed
by the head stack installation tool to install or abort installation of the head
stack assembly based on the position and force data.
