1.) Easy Maintenance. Our equipment has electronic counters in the
drive and in the loader. The maintenance counter prompts you when to perform
drive and loader maintenance, and the life counter keeps track of how many
copies have been made on the drive and on the loader. Move the drive to another
loader and the count stays with the drive. This promotes drive life because at
anytime you can see how many copies have been made since the last cleaning.
2.) Our duplication drives last longer. Because we are using a 2X base
drive with our own electronics, we can completely optimize all of the parameters
of the drive and continue to do so, automatically, even during duplication using
Auto-Asymmetry. Every 2,500 disks the ST will automatically adjust for head
wear giving you the optimum in recording and pro-long the life of the heads.
To do asymmetry on a 2XSDS drive from a competitor, you'll need a minimum of
$3,000 worth or specialized disk test equipment.
We also have counters that notify the user when to clean the drive. Proper
and timely cleaning of heads will significantly increase drive life.
This translates into an average of 80,000 copies per
drive, and a well maintained drive can last
well over 200,000 copies.
3.) The best duplicated disk possible. Not only does an ST do
bit-by-bit verification, the ST also measure Amplitude (signal) and Window
Margin (bit placement).
In other words, even if a disk verifies bit-for-bit (competitors equipment), it
could still fail on the Tracer/ST because we measure Amplitude and Window Margin
during the duplication process. If either of these adjustable parameters is not
met, then we will fail the disk. This means you will get a duplicated disk that
has the best chance possible of being read on any drive in the field, even if
that drive is out of alignment.
4.) When a Tracer/ST fails a disk, it tells you exactly why it fails the
disk where competitors equipment does not. This is extremely valuable in
maintaining and troubleshooting the equipment.
For example, say you are duplicating 1,000 disks and after 500 copies you are
starting to get a high reject rate 10%+. Why is it rejecting disks?
Competitors equipment will tell you the disk is bad. But that is not very
helpful in trying to figure out why they are failing and how to resolve the
problem.
Is it the drive? Is it the media? The Tracer/ST will give you the reason for
failure which identifies why the disk is failing. For example, if the disks
were all failing with:
Margin = Drive heads are wearing out and need to be replaced.
Dropout = Usually indicates media is the problem. Could also be drive or
combination.
Compare = Almost always means media is the problem or drive is completely worn
out.
WR Prot = Disks are write protected (WR Protect can be enabled, disabled or
inverted in Options menu)
1MB = HD disk sensor is bad and needs to be replaced.
5.) Need your production equipment to be tested & calibrated for ISO
certification? We support the Analog Alignment Disk (AAD, $50) which
will allow you to test your duplication drive for Alignment, Azimuth,
Index-to-data, and TAA. Simply place the AAD disk in the loader and press
-OPTION- -UTILS- -TEST- -DRIVE- and the ST will give you a
pass/fail for each parameter. With the ST 6000, you have all the tools
built-in to do all adjustments necessary to bring a drive back into spec.
6.) Our warranty is the best in the business. All loader parts & electronics is 1 year. Drive warranty is 30 days or 5,000 copies, whichever comes first. Most if not all other manufactures warranty that the drive works upon receipt only.
7.) Advanced World Products services and supports all equipment sold
and we won't refer you to someone else to take care of any questions or problems
as we have 2 full-time technicians that repair and support this product.
That means 95% of the time when you call with a question someone will be
available to take your call and answer your questions. And we've been in
business 12 years selling and servicing Trace Mountain Disk Duplication
Equipment. During this time we've sold more than 500 Trace Mountain
Autoloaders and have never had one returned.
8.) Need to replace your current disk duplicator because it no longer works
and/or you can no longer get support? We will give you a $500 trade-in
towards the purchase of a Tracer/ST 223 or 6000.
9.) Extended Service contracts are available and quoted upon request.
10.) Simply the best disk duplicator ever manufactured with over 70% of all disk duplication done on Trace Mountain equipment.
11.) 30 day money back guarantee and the last disk duplicator you will ever need.......Guaranteed.
