TAPE CORE ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
(.TCA201 = 3” TAPE CORE AND .TCA301 = 2” TAPE CORE)
STEP 1: UNLOCKING THE TAPE CORE FOR ADJUSTMENT:
THERE IS A LOCKING BOLT USED TO MAINTAIN THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TAPE CORE. THIS MUST BE LOOSENED
TO CHANGE THE HEIGHT OF THE TAPE CORE. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE TAPE (TRACKING)
THROUGH THE CARTRIDGE. USING A 3 mm HEX KEY WRENCH TURN IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION TO LOOSEN
THE SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREW (SPH-1030). THEN TURN THE TAPE CORE NUT LP06B-039-3 (3”) OR PSC142-3 (2”) IN A
COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION TO REMOVE DRAG FROM THE DISC SPRING (PSC33). BE SURE TO LOOSEN ENOUGH
TO ALLOW THE TAPE CORE INTERNAL ASSEMBLY TO SPIN FREELY AND ADJUST UP AND DOWN.
STEP 2: ADJUSTING THE TAPE CORE HEIGHT:
THE INTERNAL ASSEMBLY IS THREADED ON A STUD MOUNTED ON THE CARTRIDGE MILL STAND. BY HOLDING THE
EXTERNAL PART OF THE TAPE CORE ASSEMBLY AND ROTATING THE HEX LOCK NUT CAC50-101-3 (3”) OR CAC50-095-3 (2”)
THE INTERNAL ASSEMBLY WILL ROTATE CHANGING THE HEIGHT OF THE TAPE CORE ASSEMBLY. TURN IN A CLOCKWISE
DIRECTION TO DECREASE THE HEIGHT AND IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION TO INCREASE THE HEIGHT.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE INTERNAL ASSEMBLY.
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TAPE CORE ASSEMBLY.
RUN THE TAPE THROUGH THE CARTRIDGE AND CHECK FOR PROPER TAPE POSITION. REPEAT ADJUSTMENT AS REQUIRED
TO CENTER TAPE.
STEP 3:
ADJUSTING TAPE ROLL BACK LASH OR FREE SPIN:
THERE IS A DISC SPRING (PSC33) AND A SET OF BRAKE WASHERS (PSC28-3) USED TO SLOW THE FREE SPINNING OF
THE TAPE ROLL CAUSED WHEN THE TAPE IS PULLED THROUGH THE CARTRIDGE. BY ROTATING THE TAPE CORE NUT
LP06B-039-3 (3”) OR PSC142-3 (2”) IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION THIS WILL INCREASE THE DRAG FROM THE DISC SPRING
(PSC33) RESTRICTING THE AMOUNT OF FREE SPIN. THIS SHOULD BE SET WITH JUST ENOUGH DRAG TO STOP THE FREE
SPINNING. TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE WILL AFFECT THE CARTRIDGE TAPING PERFORMANCE. RUN TAPE THROUGH THE
CARTRIDGE AND CHECK FOR TAPE ROLL FREE SPIN. REPEAT ADJUSTMENT AS REQUIRED TO SET TAPE ROLL FREE SPIN.
STEP 4:LOCKING THE TAPE CORE:
AFTER THE TAPE IS CENTERED AND THE TAPE ROLL FREE SPIN IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED THE TAPE CORE SHOULD BE
LOCKED INTO POSITION. USING A 3 mm HEX KEY WRENCH TURN IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION TO TIGHTEN THE SOCKET
HEAD CAP SCREW (SPH-1030). THIS WILL INSURE THAT THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT IS MAINTAINED DURING OPERATION.
