1.2 PRODUCTION CYCLE
The C 1000 PRO machine production cycle can be
divided up into the following phases.
1.
LOADING THE CARD: The card is picked up and
inserted in the encoding module.
2.
MAGNETIC ENCODING AND CHIP (OPTIONAL):
The card is encoded and read in only 2 steps on the 3
tracks in LO-CO (low coercivity) or HI-CO (high
coercivity) according to ISO 7811.
3.
FLIP-OVER STATION (OPTIONAL): For rotating the
card for double-sided thermographic printing.
4.
THERMOGRAPHY: May be monochromatic and/or
colour for printing logos and data on both sides of the
card.
5.
EMBOSSING: This can be done either by embossing
or indenting. During the indenting the Infiller will be
activated in order to ink the characters at room
temperature.
6.
TIPPING: When the card has been released by the
clamp the Tipper is activated and the embossed
characters are coloured.
7.
UNLOADING: The card is stacked in the unloader tray
or passed to the next PRO machine. If any error has
occurred during the production phase the card is
discarded in the Discard area and the machine stops
displaying an error.
1.3 LOADING AND ENCODING UNIT
The loading unit (1) allows to store vertically 200 cards
0,76 mm thick. The card at the bottom of the pile is
picked up and moved to the working units. The bar code
encoding function can be integrated in the unit, in
accordance with the standards ISO and JIS (Japan). It
is possible to place here the chip contactor which allows
to read and write “contact” cards which comply with the
ISO 7816 standard.
