Instrumentation Tape Conditioner
Model 632
|
|
The BOW Model 632
provides an instrumentation tape cleaner with precision wind for 1 inch and 2
inch NAB and 1/2-inch NAB or IBM reels. The 632 was designed to handle reel
sizes from 10.5 inches to 16 inches in diameter. With the industries' latest
electronics and tape path available, the Model 632 is the solution to your tape
conditioning needs. Along with the optional optical inspector (800 option), the
user can establish a fail criteria to weed out bad tapes and save valuable
reusable tapes. This information can also be sent to a printer (800/P option),
located in the base of the unit, giving the user a hard copy of the results.
The BOW Model 632 is also available with an optional factory upgrade to the
BOW Model 6320
Certifier unit. This unit incorporates the tape path required for the later
addition of certification electronics and hardware. This would allow the
customer to upgrade as funds become available.
The 632 is available in both our standard cabinet, as shown, or ready for
rack mounting to a 19 inch EIA rack.
For the best magnetic tape winder/packer/cleaner for your valuable tapes, the
BOW Model 632 is the most reliable, gentle handling, and best value in the
industry.
