Dual actuator pivoting lever tape head posiitoner

摘要

A coarse and fine lateral head positioner (20) has the fine positioner mechanism (44) implemented with a voice coil motor (46) and pivotally mounted to the head carriage at a fulcrum for limited rotational displacement transversely relative to the tape transport path. The voice coil actuator has a fixed part mounted to the head carriage and a moving part coupled to rotate the beam structure. The coarse positioner is a stepper motor
