ICT is acknowledged as a major player in supporting the O.E.M. and independant drive markets for 1/4 inch Cartridge and 1/2 inch Reel-to-Reel magnetic tape computer peripherals.
On receipt of products at ICT an established and proven format of activity is initiated to determine disposition between Repair or Replacement and our service ensures that all products submitted to ICT are returned to the customer, repaired or replaced, in a fully operational state.
Repair service
Depending on condition, each head will receive either Standard or Major service operations. A standard service could include reprofiling tape contact surfaces, wiring repairs, etc. Major service could involve dissembly of the head to effect track repairs, magnetic gap renewal, etc. On completion of repairs, all magnetic recording heads are submitted to stringent inspection procedures, culminating in re-certification of quality and performance.
Replacement service
Magnetic recording heads that are deemed to be beyond economic repair can be replaced with new products. These are supplied with full guarantees of quality and performance. A comprehensive inventory of popular types is maintained by ICT, often enabling next day delivery to minimise costly ‘down time’.
