The Otari VL-322 VHS video cassette tape loader automatically loads 1/2"-width magnetic tape into VHS cassettes (V-0: VHS video cassette with only leader tape wound in it) in accordance with conditions pre-set by the operator. Cassette supply, tape cut, splice, wind, and eject are automatically performed. The VL-322 contains two winding stations and can produce two cassettes simultaneously.
The VL-322 is available in two types, according to the cassette supply/ejection methods - VL-322AC (conveyor type) and VL-322AS (magazine type). The VL-322AC uses the optional conveyor system for supplying and ejecting cassettes and the feeding of cassettes is fully automated. The VL-322AS uses the standard V-0 magazine and V-X magazine and the cassettes must be supplied and ejected manually.
Operational Features
- Two independent winding stations enables parallel production of two cassettes. Different types of cassettes can be produced simultaneously.
- A maximum of 30 m/s winding speed and 5 m/s2 acceleration rate provides higher productivity at approximately 12 seconds per cassette (T-120) cycle time with two winding stations.
- Simplified tape path for easy tape setting
- Splicing tape max. 80 mm in diameter can be used
- Air guides are used to provide better tape handling to minimize tape dropouts on oxide of the magnetic tape
