Protect Your Media

The new DLT Autoload Inspector/Cleaner removes surface debris and dust that interferes with proper head/tape contact, retensions tape to industry standards, and optically scans the tape for physical damage. The machine operates at 200 inches per second. It processes a 1200 foot DLT cartridge in less than three (3) minutes, and an 1828 foot DLT cartridge in less than four (4) minutes. The ten cartridge magazine automatically accepts all DLT tape cartridges and cleans, retensions, and inspects these ten cartridges in about half an hour.

Cleaning and inspecting tape cartridges ensures that your cartridges are functioning at peak performance standards! The tape is wrapped around four (4) automatically advancing tissue stations, cleaned by a sapphire blade, optically inspected, and ejected when finished. The cleaning tissues are made of non-shedding nylon material. Both the oxide and back sides of the tape are completely cleaned before and after the sapphire cleaning blade. The cleaning blade, which burnishes the tape, is a precise bi-directional double-edged sapphire blade designed to remove debris which adheres to the tape surface. The blade may be removed from the tape path by the operator if desired. The machine is available as a DLT single load cleaner and as a certifier. Call to inquire about available options.

Faulty Tape Detection

The Optical Defect Detector allows the operator to identify defective cartridges. The optical scanner detects edge damage and tape deformities, such as creases and scratches. 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 and inspected, an LED indicator shows the location of each defect. A print option can also be added to allow the user to print a copy of the scanner information for a permanent record of each tape.
