At least one of the buffers is provided in common for a plurality of cells, and at least one of the pallet hand-over mechanisms is provided to the common buffer.

Abstract: A loading method and a system therefor for guiding a magnetic head onto a magnetic disk medium using a guiding jig. The guiding jig has a first guiding surface that is parallel to the recording surface of the magnetic disk medium when positioned next to the edge of the disk, and a second guiding surface that is inclined with respect to the first guiding surface. The magnetic head slides on the second guiding surface to the first guiding surface, and then onto the recording surface of the magnetic disk.
