Functionality
The Robo CopyStation M2 will
copy identical data
images to
48 cards simultaneously.
Blank memory cards are fed
into the system by
card trays via a
transporting system. From
there the
cards are picked up,
24 at a time,
by a
cushion of suction pads and
delivered to the copying
unit.
After being imprinted, the
cards are taken to another
stack of card trays.
The systems can be adjusted
to a wide range of tray
types.
The Robo
CopyStation is operated
using a touch screen
which is mounted on a swivel
arm and can be
connected to the company’s
network since it is running
on a standard operating
system.
An optional software tool is
available from Altec which
encodes the data
individually for each card
during copying according to
the card ID number. This
technology can be used to
ensure that a program or
game can only be started
from the original memory
card. This provides an
effective copy protection
mechanism.
The currently achievable
throughput depends on
capacity and speed of the
cards as well as on other
factors as tray type etc.
With
512 MB SD Cards, a
throughput of
2000
cards per hour can be
achieved (without
verification).
The
contact pads are
currently designed
for
SD Cards and
MultiMediaCards,
microSD
as well as
RS-MMC.
altec plans to provide
contact pads for other card
types such as Memory Stick
PRO Duo, Memory Stick Micro
M2 and miniSD in the near
future. |
