CHAPTER 8: Insertion and Extraction Guidelines
8.3.1 Unload Forces, Placement, and Timing
Figure 8-1. Tolerances for Cartridge Insertion and Extraction
Eject Distance
When ejecting a cartridge from the drive, the distance the cartridge can be
expected to move is important; this distance is shown in
Figure 8-1 .
Cartridge Extraction Force
Limit the extraction force (applied by the picker) to 4.5 lbs (maximum). More than
that will bend the pin on the takeup leader (if the leaders fail to unbuckle).
Extraction Velocity
The extraction velocity must be in the range: 1.5 inch/sec
≤
velocity < 0.
