The
BOW Model 632
provides an instrumentation, audio and video tape cleaner with precision wind
for 1-inch and 2-inch NAB and 1/2-inch NAB or IBM reels. The BOW Model 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. With
the optional optical inspector the user can establish a fail-criteria to weed
out bad tapes and save valuable reusable tapes. Perfect for conditioning old
tapes for archives, restoration, or to ready the tape for media transfer. The
optical inspector information can also be sent to a printer, located in the base
of the unit, giving the user a hard copy of the results. The
BOW Model 632 guides that tape gently through the tape path and cleaning
stations at a programmed tension that allows for the best packing of the tape.
Constant tension can also be selected as desired. The four constantly advancing
tissue cleaning stations clean both sides of the tape both before and after the
sapphire cleaning blade, which can be removed from the tape path as required.
Alternate speeds are also available for handling tapes with extreme stiction
issues. The
632 is available in both our standard cabinet (as shown) or ready for rack
mounting to a 19 inch EIA rack.
