DataPure Phoenix-3

The Phoenix-3 will safely, efficiently and precisely clean, scan and re-tension your 3590 cartridges, assuring optimum performance. The Phoenix-3 cleans your tape on both sides; a vacuum-assisted blade cleans the oxide surface, while two automatic vacuum assisted tissue stations clean both the oxide and the back surfaces.

The Phoenix-3 with it's optical scanner detects physical defects as small as .025 inches. It is self-calibrating, and automatically recalibrates sensor bias level for each cartridge, and it includes a standard printer output.
