A recording/reproducing method and a recording/reproducing apparatus for magnetic tapes are provided as a recording/reproducing technique suitable for recording density enhancement of magnetic tapes. The method and apparatus are capable of correctly recording and reproducing data without causing errors even with occurrence of size changes in the widthwise direction of a magnetic tape. In the recording/reproducing method for magnetic tapes in which data tracks and servo tracks are provided, a tape width is detected and a value of the tape width is stored during data recording, and data reproduction is performed while tape tension is controlled so that the tape width during data reproduction is maintained equal to the tape width during data recording.
摘要:
In a recording/reproducing method of a magnetic tape in a tracking servo system, a recording density of each data track is increased while inhibiting occurrence of a recording/reproducing error caused by a size change of a magnetic tape in the width direction. Data tracks are each set to have a smaller track width stepwise as closer to servo tracks (41T-1 to 41T-5 etc.) in the width direction of a magnetic tape 1. With such a setting, the width of the data tracks (A1-41T-1 to A1-41T-5 etc.) closest to the servo tracks (41T-1 to 41T-5) can be minimized, thereby enabling a significant increase in number of the data tracks. Further, even when the size of the magnetic tape 1 changes in the width direction due to a change in external environment such as a temperature or moisture, to lead to large displacement of the data tracks (A8-41T-1 to A8-41T-5) distant from the servo tracks (41T-1 to 41T-5), the data head (A8) can be readily aligned to face the data tracks (A8-41T-1 to A8-41T-5) in the reproduction by an increased portion of the width size of the data tracks (A8-41T-1 to A8-41T-5), and it is thereby possible to ensure reading of data signals from the data tracks (A8-41T-1 to A8-41T-5) so as to improve reproduction accuracy.

摘要:
A data recording apparatus of the present invention includes a head that records data signals by magnetizing a magnetic tape 10 and a recording control portion that controls the recording operation by causing recording current to flow to the head. The recording control portion controls the operation of the head, so that in the magnetic tape 10, which is direct current demagnetized continuously in the longitudinal direction, a magnetic field is formed intermittently in an opposite direction to the magnetization direction of the direct current demagnetization. Thus, when recording data signals on the magnetic recording medium, it is possible to make the current flowing to the head small and to realize apparatus power consumption reductions, load reductions for the head and circuitry, and reduction in crosstalk noise from the head chip used for writing to the head chip used for reading.
摘要:
A magnetic tape driving apparatus, which does not cause damage to either a magnetic head or a magnetic tape when making transition of the magnetic tape from a stopped state to a running state, when making transition of the magnetic tape from a running state to a stopped state, or when reversing the transportation direction of the magnetic tape, is provided. In a state where any one of a magnetic head and a magnetic tape moves and the other rests (i.e., a state where static friction may occur), such as at the time of starting transportation of the magnetic tape, at the time of stopping the tape in a running state, and at the time of reversing the transportation direction of the magnetic tape, a head displacing portion vibrates the magnetic head under the control by a displacement control portion, and thus no static friction occurs between the magnetic head and the magnetic tape. Therefore, the risk of causing damage to the magnetic head (such as an MR head unit equipped with an MR element) or the magnetic tape can be reduced.
