Disc Static and Sticky Media Issues
The most common problems when using an autoloader are the disc static and sticky media
issues. These static charge problems cause multiple discs to stick together, resulting in
improper operation and more severely, can shock the robotic arm while loading a disc that
causes the system freeze. Even though the autoloader has a sticky media separator
function to prevent the sticky media, but you should still follow these steps to prevent
sticky media from disrupting your operation and protect your system from disc static
charge.
This issue is most commonly seen when you buy a 100 pack of blank discs and insert
them into the autoloader without any treatment. If you have experienced this kind of
problem, please do the following to remove the adhesive static between the discs:
Separate the blank discs before you place them into the autoloader's bins and align them
using the Output Bin rod. Separating them will greatly reduce the static between discs.
See pictures below:
If this doesn't achieve the desired outcome, use an air duster (canned air) to blow air
around the circular edge of the blank discs. This process reduces the static between the
discs up to 90%. The amount of air to use depends on factors specific to your
environment.
