Abstract (en)

A plate cassette loader (100) for a platesetter (10) comprises a cassette holder (110) for receiving a cassette (14), containing a stack of plates. A cassette inverter (105) then rotates this cassette (14) to a feed position in which the plates can be fed into the imaging engine (12) of the platesetter (10). In this way, the somewhat unwieldy process of loading plates into the imaging engine (12) is handled by the cassette inverter (105), in combination with the fact that the stack of plates, contained in the cassette (14), can be loaded in one step, rather than requiring the feeding of individual plates by a dedicated operator.
