Abstract
A storage media retrieval assembly () for moving storage media () within a media library () including a library housing (), comprises a picker system (), an assembly base (), and a first sensor (A). The picker system () selectively engages the storage media (). The assembly base () supports the picker system (). The assembly base () is movable relative to the library housing (). The first sensor (A) senses if the assembly base () is level relative to the library housing (). Additionally, the retrieval assembly () can further comprise a mover () that is secured to the assembly base (), the mover () selectively moving the assembly base () relative to the library housing (). In alternative embodiments, the first sensor (A) or a second sensor (A) can be a home sensor that senses a home position of the mover () relative to the library housing ().
