Abstract: Apparatus and method for the automatic insertion of a cathode ray tube shadow mask into a mating front panel. The apparatus includes means for aligning the shadow mask such that the mask alignment holes are positioned at points which lie in a substantially horizontal hole reference plane with each hole positioned at a predetermined location, and means for engaging the panel studs and aligning the panel by means of the studs to a position where the studs are located at points which lie in a substantially horizontal stud reference plane and at a location within that plane which places each stud in vertical alignment with and at a predetermined distance above its corresponding mask alignment hole. With the shadow mask and its panel in positions of alignment, the mask springs are compressed to permit insertion of the mask assembly into the panel, the mask is raised the predetermined distance between the hole reference plane and the stud reference plane, and the springs are released to permit engagement between each stud and its corresponding alignment hole.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically inserting and retrieving cathode ray tube face panels from a panel processor which includes a programmer and an endless conveyor that carries a plurality of panel supporting carts. A prime mover controlled by the programmer steps the carts through a series of work stations, including an index station, disposed along a closed path. The apparatus comprises a platen having a pair of panel holders successively displaceable between the index station and a loading station. Means are provided for effecting a first reciprocation of the panel holder at the index station into engagement with an indexed cart to insert an unprocessed panel therein and thereafter, upon a second reciprocation to retrieve a processed panel from a subsequently indexed cart. Finally, platen driving means are provided for displacing the panel holder with the retrieved panel to the loading station while simultaneously displacing the other panel holder to the index station to insert an unprocessed panel into the subsequently indexed cart.
