  1. Introducing the TLS Series Libraries

  2. Qualstar TLS Library Systems • Full range of tape libraries • AIT • SAIT • SDLT • LTO • Intra-family scalability • Proven robotics design • Advanced features • Flexible options

  3. Menu driven control panel with LCD display I/O port Large window allows observation Cooling air filter intake Drives in removable carrier assembly Universal 120/220 VAC connection The TLS Library System Flexible interface cabling options Key lock door-bulk load/unload/drive servicing Drives access hatch (connections)

  4. Qualstar Robotic DesignThe cornerstone of a Simply Reliable library Fixed lead screw with aerospace low friction coating Oversize linear bearings • Rated for >1 Million MEBF’s • Very high resolution positioning • No maintenance required • Qualstar designed and built brushless motors • Proven design used in all Qualstar libraries, improved and perfected over 8 years of manufacturing Patented “Rotating Nut” servo motor design

  5. Qualstar RobotThe cornerstone of a Simply Reliable library • Lead screws used for both vertical robot movement in Y axis and in/out movement in Z axis (cartridge insertion/removal from drives/magazines) • Rotating carousel indexes removable magazines in front of robot • Simple controlled motion in each axis contributes to high mechanical reliability Carousel Y axis Z axis

  6. Qualstar Standard Features VIOP allows the user to configure Import/Export resources to match requirements Positive pressure filtered air cooling eliminates airborne contaminants Logical Library allows the user to partition the library into separate logical units each assigned its own set of library resources Inventory Sentry prevents time consuming re-inventories

  7. Without VIOP I/O port resources are fixed With VIOP I/O port resources are variable I/O I/O 15 15 1 I/O 16 16 2 I/O 17 17 18 18 3 I/O 19 19 4 I/O 20 20 21 21 5 I/O 22 22 6 I/O 23 23 24 24 7 I/O 25 25 8 I/O 26 26 27 27 9 I/O 28 28 10 I/O A A D D 11 11 B B E E 12 12 C C F F 13 13 14 14 VIOP Means More Control • Standard in all TLS and RLS libraries • Allows reassignment of any range of media storage slots to the I/O port function • Boundaries can be set at magazine or slot increments • Supports bulk load/unload and “group backup” strategies
