Abstract
A stop command detecting unit detects an operation transition from fast forwarding/rewinding modes to a stop mode, a take-up side reel braking unit and a supply side reel braking unit start a braking operation based on the stop command, and a driving motor of the take-up side reel is driven at a specified current value set by a motor current value setting unit for a specified time set by a current adding time setting unit to provide the take-up side reel with rotary torque in the winding direction. Hence, the supply side reel rotates together with the take-up side reel until the supply side reel is stopped, thereby preventing occurrence of a slack on the tape.
Claims4
A tape-like recording medium running device, in which a take-up side reel is driven by a motor to perform running for winding up a tape-like recording medium from a supply side reel, comprising:
- a take-up side reel braking unit for braking a rotation of the take-up side reel,
- a supply-side reel braking unit for braking a rotation of the supply side reel,
- a stop command detecting unit for detecting a command to stop the running for winding,
- a motor current value setting unit for controlling a current value for driving the motor, and
- a current adding time setting unit for controlling specified time for supplying current specified by the motor current value setting unit to the motor,
- wherein immediately after the stop command detecting unit detects a stop command, the take-up side reel braking unit and the supply side reel braking unit start braking the take-up side reel and the supply side reel, and the motor current value setting unit and the current adding time setting unit apply current to the motor so that rotary torque is given to the take-up side reel.
