The benefit of cleaning your DLT tapes is the assurance that your cartridges
are functioning at optimum performance levels. By removing surface debris
that interferes with head to tape contact, you greatly reduce dropouts as
well as prolong the life of expensive magnetic heads. At 200 ips (inches per
second) the DLTa cleaners can process a 1200 foot cartridge in less than
three (3) minutes and an 1828 foot cartridge in less than four (4) minutes.
In one cycle the tape is automatically extracted from the cartridge,
wrapped around four (4) automatically advancing tissue stations, cleaned by
a sapphire blade (if engaged), optically inspected and then ejected. The
automatically advancing cleaning tissues are made of non-shedding nylon
material that are placed such that both the oxide and backsides of the tape
are cleaned, both upstream and downstream of the sapphire cleaning blade.
The cleaning blade, which burnishes the tape, is a precise bi-directional
double-edged sapphire blade designed to remove debris adhered to the tape.
The Optical Scanning feature allows you to purge your library of
defective cartridges. The optical scanner detects edge damage and tape
deformities, such as creases and folds. An indicator on the control panel is
provided that counts and displays the number of defects in the tape. After
the tape has been cleaned/inspected, an UP and DOWN scan feature indicates
the location of each defect that occurred. A print out option can also be
added to allow the operator to have a hard copy of the scan information for
each tape.
An Erase (E) option is also available that allows the operator to erase
unneeded data from the tape, eliminating the need for expensive degaussers.
Once cleaned, scanned and erased, the tape can be used with the assurance
and reliability you look for in a new tape.
The Autoloader option allows the user to process a magazine of ten (10)
DLT cartridges at a time for hands-off operation. This option gives the
operator a simple PASS/FAIL indicator for each cartridge so that when a
magazine of 10 cartridges is completed the status of each cartridge is
clearly displayed.
