Abstract: An assembling apparatus which can readily achieve change-over among operation programs corresponding to a large number of works of different models. Part pallets on which parts are received are supplied from a part supplying unit to a plurality of assembling units by a part pallet supplying conveyor. Meanwhile, assembling pallets are supplied from a model changing unit to the assembling units by an assembling pallet transporting conveyor. Each of the assembling units is provided with an orthogonal robot wherein an assembling head picks up a part from a part pallet supplied thereto and automatically mounts the part to a work on an assembling pallet supplied thereto.

Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus for a tape cassette includes: a rotary table having at least one pair of hub chucks for demountably holding a pair of hubs supplied to the rotary table; a mechanism for clamping an initial end of a supplied tape to one of the hubs held by the hub chucks; a tape winding member for winding a predetermined length of the supplied tape onto the one hub; a cutting member for cutting the trailing side of the wound tape on the one hub; another mechanism for clamping the terminal end of the cut tape to the other of the hubs; and an assembling mechanism for transporting the hubs to which the ends of the tape are clamped and on which the tape is wound, to a position adjacent to a mounted cassette half, demounting the hubs from the hub chucks and assembling the hubs into the mounted cassette half.
