A fixture with a shaped molding may hold a first micro-actuator part and a second micro-actuator part in place for coupling while maintaining the structure of the first micro-actuator part. The first micro-actuator part and the second micro-actuator part may be a frame or a strip of piezoelectric material. A vacuum nozzle system embedded in the fixture may hold the first micro-actuator part in place. A mobile vacuum nozzle system may hold the second micro-actuator in place and positions the second micro-actuator part relative to the first micro-actuator part. A camera system may monitor the process. A dispense may apply epoxy between the first and second micro-actuator part. An ultraviolet source may provide ultraviolet radiation for curing.
摘要:
A method and mechanism for visually inspecting both sides of components for a hard disk drive are disclosed. The components are stored in the containment units of a packing tray, with an exchange tray with matching containment units placed above and in contact with the packing tray. The components could be magnetic read/write heads, head gimbal assemblies, or other parts of hard disk drive. The two trays are rotated, using gravity to cause the components to move from the packing containment unit to the exchange containment unit.
摘要:
A micro-actuator that reduces suspension tongue stiffness and a method of manufacturing the micro-actuator are disclosed. In one embodiment, the micro-actuator has a base piece with two arms extending from the base piece. The electric contact pads for the arms are situated on the exterior of the arms at the end opposite the base piece. In one embodiment, the electric contact pads are electrically coupled to the same connection plate that the magnetic read/write head is coupled to, reducing the number of connection traces.

A system and method are disclosed for a subambient pressure air bearing slider utilizing negative pressure grooves. In one embodiment, a groove extends from a slider's leading edge, splits, and terminates in two locations at the slider's trailing edge. In one embodiment, a groove is provided in a slider's compression pad near the trailing edge of the slider.
摘要:
A HGA of the invention includes a slider; a micro-actuator to adjust the position of the slider; and a suspension to load the slider and the micro-actuator. The micro-actuator includes two side arms; a load plate for supporting the slider, which is connected with at least one of the side arms; a piezoelectric element connected with the side arms; and a base shaft to couple with the suspension, which is connected with the side arms and positioned between the load plate and the piezoelectric element. The invention also discloses a disk drive unit using such a HGA.

A head gimbal assembly comprising a slider having a read\write sensor; a suspension to load the slider; a micro-actuator; wherein the micro-actuator comprises a piezoelectric unit with two piezoelectric elements and a support base having a base to be coupled with the suspension physically, a moving plate to be coupled with the two piezoelectric elements, and a leading beam to connect with the base and the moving plate. Also disclosed is a micro-actuator comprising inter alia a piezoelectric unit with two piezoelectric elements. A method of forming a micro-actuator is also disclosed, which method comprising forming a piezoelectric unit having two piezoelectric elements; forming a support base having a base, a moving plate, and a leading beam to connect with the base and the moving plate; and bonding the piezoelectric unit to one side of the support base. Also disclosed is a method of forming a slider, a suspension and a micro-actuator.
摘要:
A system and method are disclosed using a formed slider fixture to reduce the amount of adhesive or epoxy needed to couple a slider to a suspension. The adhesive is applied to the slider fixture or to the slider before coupling. In one embodiment, the slider fixture has a side forming plates on both edge sides of the slider. In one embodiment, the slider fixture has a third forming plate on the third side of the slider.
