Abstract
Tooling for assembling a compact disk drive useful for laptop computers includes a ball swaging fixture for joining head flexures to a head arm/actuator subassembly; and a motor/disk platform and disk clamping means for joining a drive motor to magnetic disks. The ball swaging fixture comprises a ball staking fixture for securing the flexures to the head arm/actuator subassembly. The disk clamping means includes a torque gage for assembling a clamp to the drive motor and motor hub. The tooling allows assembly of a compact disk drive at a single station by a single operator.
