Zusammenfassung:Method and system for manufacturing wavy lapping tape and/or wavy cleaning tape for use in the manufacturing and/or repair of negative pressure tape head(s) contour. The wavy lapping tape may be designed with predetermined wave frequency and amplitude to maintain the required contact between the negative pressure head transducer and the lapping tape and/or cleaning tape to repair negative pressure tape head(s). When the wavy lapping tape is implemented within cartridges, the present invention enables automated head test and repair of negative pressure head(s) in drives within the tape library without the need to remove heads from the drives.
