DLT Cartridge Certifier 

 

Description:

The DLT Certifier system is an outstanding DLT cartridge certification system to test and certify DLT cartridges by evaluating and recording media defects. DLT I, DLT II, DLT III, and DLT IV cartridges are supported. The certifier incorporates a ten cartridge autoloader processor and a separate control panel cabinet to enable the user to process and record a large amount of media information without remaining at the machine. The machine cleans at 200 ips and certifies at 120 ips with automatic tape tension adjustments.

Certification Method and Features:

The basic certification of the tape cartridge is completed in one pass. The tape is automatically extracted from the cartridge, wrapped around four automatically advancing cleaning tissues, cleaned by a sapphire blade, and magnetically tested. A one MHz signal is electronically written across the full width of the tape. The tape is read by an in-line, multi-track longintudinal read head to detect any signal absence on the tape, thereby detecting magnetic defects in the tape. The tape speed is reduced to 120 ips during the testing cycle, and defect locations are stored in RAM for later examination--either on the control panel or on a printed defect report.
